Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson

3.0

Can’t decide if this is a 3 or 3 1/2. Overall I enjoyed listening to this book and I love the author’s writing. I felt connected to Toni in a lot of ways since she also had a father in the music industry who passed away (though in a very different way than mine), so I found her discussion of grief kind of comforting. Overall, I enjoyed Toni’s chapters a lot more than Olivia’s. I kept getting really annoyed at the way Olivia was treating her friend and it made it sometimes hard to enjoy the chapters from her POV. I definitely recommend this book if you’re looking for a summery, music festival kind of book but unfortunately this won’t be making it onto my list of new favorite YA contemporaries.
