Under the Lights by Dahlia Adler
4.0
OH MY GOD THIS AUTHOR NAILED IT. AGAIN.
The first book was such a winner for me and this one is no different.
Realistic characters? Hellz yeah.
Character development? You got it.
Awesome friendship? Super awesome like 1000%.
Great F/F romance? Almost there. I just felt like the shift into romance happened way too fast but it's still amazing nonetheless. AND HOT.
Under the Lights is a story about finding one's self and realizing the things that matter and make you happy. There are a lot of books out there with self-discovery as the main concept but this book is probably my favorite of them all. What I liked the most about this is the unlikely friendship formed between the two main characters who couldn't be any more different from each other without entangling any romance in it. Because guys and girls can have platonic friendships, people!
On top of that, this book also tackles tough issues like racism and sexuality which, in my opinion, Dahlia Adler has done perfectly.
In short: THIS BOOK IS IMPORTANT YOU NEED IT IN YOUR LIVES SO GO READ IT NOW.
You're welcome.
