Pop-punk concert + sapphic = a great book, I think that’s really all I need to say.
I was so excited to read this book because I loved You should see me in a crown. But unfortunately, that reason made this book even more disappointing. First of all, I did not care for any of the characters, especially Olivia. I did not like her storyline. I understand she was dealing with some trauma but that did not give her the reason to be so selfish and a terrible friend. Another thing that made this book even worse was the way the book touched on mass shootings. Like the mass shootings just came from nowhere and were thrown in the middle of the book, and never talked about again. I think that if you are going to talk about a serious and important topic such as mass shootings, you should go a little more in-depth not just touched on it on a surface level.

A cute queer romance told from the perspective of the two main characters. The story takes place in the span of a weekend but with several flashbacks. At times it was a slow read, and I could’ve used more details in the flashback’s but overall I enjoyed this story.

The concept of this book gave me really high hopes: falling in love over three days at a music festival. Sadly, while I still enjoyed it, those expectations weren’t reached. The vibes were definitely there, however a lot of different popular tropes were all thrown together in a mix match that didn’t really work for me. I really enjoyed the romance, but I wish the side characters were developed better.

The Black teen rom com we NEEDED! Leah Johnson already stole my heart with You Should see me in a Crown, and kept me glued to my seat with Rise to the Sun. This was so light hearted and just the escape I needed for a camping weekend. The details she gave about the stolen looks, the hesitations…….all so adorable. I can’t wait for the next one! I’m definitely hitting up my next music concert just because of this book!
