Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
3.0

I liked parts of this book but I found one of the two POV characters deeply annoying in a way that really reminded me I am not the target audience for YA books. She was a very realistic teenager! She also annoyed the shit out of me! I loved You Should See Me In A Crown but this one was much less engaging, in part I think because the romance was condensed into 3 days and I always feel a bit eye rolly about dramatic declarations of love for someone you’ve spent like two hours with. (I am also a buzzkill about Romeo and Juliet.)
