Midnight Sun by Trish Cook offers an initially cute and realistically naive portrayal of adolescence, capturing the heartwarming awkwardness of youth. However, midway through, the writing felt forced, losing the natural flow of emotions. The characters, though somewhat one-dimensional, didn't bother me, but the plot seemed to dissipate. The ending left me puzzled, not in terms of happiness or sadness, but rather a sense of "why this kind of ending?" Drawing parallels with Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, both share a similarly nonsensical conclusion. To be fair, Midnight Sun deserves credit for sheding light on xeroderma pigmentosum, offering valuable insights into the condition. However, I found the portrayal somewhat embellished, as the impact on its patients seemed overly idealizedUnfortunately, despite the promising start, Midnight Sun isn't a story I would revisit.

Another dripping romance that has an unnecessarily tragic ending and makes no sense.

This is not my preferred genre at all. However, if you enjoy wholesome teenage romance and a sweet father-daughter relationship, this one is for you!
