Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
5.0
4.5 - Last year, Leah Johnson stole my heart with You Should See Me In a Crown. I knew, right then and there, that I was never going to be able to turn down another of her stories. Rise to the Sun is not the same kind of story; it's not comedy. But it does contain Johnson's signature brand of humor, and it is beautifully romantic. Personally, I think it might just be better.
I honest to goodness could not stop adding stickies to this book, nor did I realize just how much I needed it. From the off, Toni and Olivia's journeys were some sort of catharsis, healing my soul even after only two chapters. By the end, the pages were water-stained and salty. This one's for the musicians. This one's for everyone who's been missing the way live music grabs you and won't let go. This one's for the lonely-hearted and those who've been told they're too big. And believe me when I say, you're going to want to shed tears on these pages too.
P.S. If you read Lighty's story first, keep your eyes out for a cameo or two ;)
