Young adult author Nicola Yoon @nicolayoon , best known for “The Sun Is Also a Star” and its popular film adaptation, has a new novel called, “One of Our Kind,” and the ending has everyone talking.
This debut marks a significant milestone in Yoon's literary career, as she transitions from young adult fiction to exploring deeper, more complex themes in adult literature. Don’t worry! She’s not leaving YA forever.
