Land of the Midnight Sun by Liz Kessler
5.0
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
I love the 4.5 streak that this series has going on! I honestly think only one book has gotten 4 stars so far?
I really liked the character development that we saw in this book! It was nice seeing Neptune act like a normal person for once, and also seeing Beeston act like a decent one for once in his life! I definitely like these two more and more with each book. Archie confused me so much in this book, and I have to say that he was the one thing that I didn't actually know what was going to happen by the end.
I also loved the fact that this book addressed some of the realistic points of a relationship. It addressed the fact that middle schoolers are very young to be in love. It also showed what happens when people aren't honest with each other and how they can work through it. I especially appreciated the fact that Emily didn't forgive Aaron right away after their argument and took the time to think over what had happened and whether forgiving him was the right thing to do. I personally forgive very easily and sometimes it's not the best thing, so I think it's a good thing that Emily didn't do that in this book. It also made for some really good character development, I think, which is always great!
Even though these books are always super predictable, they're still really entertaining and they also have some good lessons for middle schoolers perfectly thrown in there. I'm really enjoying this series so far!
