Watch Next

The young adult novel The Sun Is Also a Star is getting the movie treatment and it looks like it has everything a good romance needs: one romantic individual, someone who doesn't think love is for them, and a whole lot of fate.

Set in modern-day New York City, The Sun Is Also a Star looks at the lives of Jamaica native Natasha Kingsley (Yara Shahidi) and almost-college-student Daniel Bae (Charles Melton) who cross paths and fall in love just before Natasha and her family are being deported.

The 2016 novel The Sun Is Also a Star was a New York Times No. 1 bestseller, among many accolades following its release.

The movie lands in theaters May 17.
