“But I’m Jamaican-American and my husband is Korean-American, like Natasha and Daniel, and we did have a lot of the conversations that I included in the book. “We did not meet whilst I was being deported, or anything like that,” Yoon confirms. Now that Natasha and Daniel are on the same plane, will they finally get their happily ever after? Will they spend the whole flight to wherever catching up and then go their separate ways again? Will a nosy passenger in 11B tweet out their #couplegoals story? There are infinite possibilities in this moment, which is a phenomenal way to wrap up a book about fate.Nicola Yoon, upon whose #1 New York Times bestselling novel The Sun Is Also The Moon the film is based, was inspired by the serendipity of her own relationship in creating the characters-though she and her husband did not meet at such a problematic time as Natasha and Daniel. Of course, it's also a perfect ending because the readers can choose their own adventure. Yoon has woven stories of minor characters all through the text, and it's incredibly satisfying to see Irene's story come full-circle. First of all, it's an amazing reminder of how much one moment that might seem insignificant to you could change somebody else's life. Natasha introduces herself, and then a cute Korean man a few rows back says, "Natasha?" It's Daniel. Irene realizes she doesn't even know her name. One day she sees Natasha seated on her plane and works up the courage to tell her about the simple gesture that saved her life 10 years earlier. Ultimately, Irene becomes a flight attendant. When Lester Barnes passes along Natasha's thanks, it's enough to make her feel "seen," and she gets help for her suicidal thoughts.
As it turns out, Irene the USCIS security guard did not kill herself as she had planned to do. The final chapter- Irene: An Alternate History-reignites our faith. Nicola Yoon has crafted this story so masterfully that readers start to accept that maybe this ending was inevitable. For years, they go on with their lives and try to forget each other. With a literal ocean between them, the star-crossed lovers naturally drift apart. After becoming fully invested in Natasha and Daniel's epic, whirlwind, "meant to be" love story, it's low-key devastating to watch as Natasha ends up being deported after all.
