The Sun Is Also a Star meets Jumanji when two teens meet and fall in love during a layover-gone-wrong at the Atlanta airport in this thrilling new novel from the author of Let's Get Lost! James and Michelle find themselves in the Atlanta airport on a layover. They couldn't be more different, but seemingly interminable delays draw them both to a mysterious flashing green light--and each other. Where James is passive, Michelle is anything but. And she quickly discovers that the flashing green light is actually... a button. Which she presses. Which may or may not unwittingly break the rules of the universe--at least as those rules apply to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. Before they can figure up from down, strange, impossible things start happening: snowstorms form inside the B terminal; jungles sprout up in the C terminal; and earthquakes split the ground apart in between. And no matter how hard they try, it seems no one can find a way in or out of the airport. James and Michelle team up to find their families and either escape the airport, or put an end to its chaos--before it's too late.

August review😬
This book started so interesting but then it was like a chaos. James is at the airport going back home after vacation, met Michelle and strange things start to happen like they are in another dimension. Then you will see the different reaction of people at the airport. It is supposed to be something like Jurassic park but in a bad way. The book club members thought I would like it because of the psychological aspects but no😳⬇️

Gissy (Cont) It was a chaos, disorganized, confusing and not well integrated for me. Didn‘t work for me at all. Only one person liked it in the book club. Almost a 👎 category. 2⭐️

The first-person plural narration in this book was certainly a choice, and sometimes it felt like Michelle and James were having incredibly deep conversations for being literally in the middle of real life Jumanji, but I really enjoyed their characters and the glimpses into so many different lives, so. If you want something different, give this a go! #yalit
