makeda 's review for:

Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
3.0

This was a delightful read. Leah Johnson is an automatic buy for me. As cute as this story was, I think I like “You Should See Me in a Crown” better. It was a little repetitive at times but all the characters were just so lovable and endearing. I wish we got to see more of Olivia dealing with the fallout from what happened to her. Even her family’s reactions to it were interesting. She could definitely benefit from some therapy. I also love how she wears her heart on her sleeve but finally realizes she doesn’t need the attention or affection of others to feel validated.

I’d love to see Leah Johnson’s books adapted to screen.
