I picked up a copy of Midnight Sun as a deal from UK shopping chain called The Works after hearing that Bella Thorne was going to be starring in the film adaptation of this. Usually I'd say add 100 more pages for ~depth~ but I would literally not want to read any more of this than I did. Side characters that seem important in the beginning are completely shoved aside by both the MC and the author for no apparent reason (possibly to talk more about perfect Charlie Reed). This girl was once bullied by another girl when they were both approximately 6 years old and this bully miraculously stayed a vile bitch after all these years and she suddenly emerges when MC is hanging out (after sundown, obvs) with said perfect boy because she's jeaaaalllouuuusss!!!1!!!!

It feels like a cheap ripoff of Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon (which I also didn't really enjoy) but then filled with possibly every afwul cliche and horrendous trope that exists in the history of YA Contemporary novels.Ī girl who has basically never seen daylight is good at everything she does for the first time, meets a perfect, popular boy who instantly loves her. with this lame book but I'll keep it short. Officially my least favourite book of the year. I don't think I have ever read a book more cringeworthy than this. No regrets! I highly recommend to lovers of corny YA romance novels! He and Katie were absolutely perfect together! He was so funny, sweet, caring, and also awkward. Oh my goodness! There was so much more depth to him than I originally expected, his journey from the start of the book to the end was incredible to see. It was so great to see the ways she coped with her situation and her character was so perfect I can't even!Īnd then there's Charlie.

It was incredible! I also lived the way she expressed herself through her music.

Her character felt so real and honest, the way she overcame obstacles and triedd to fit in despite all the odds that were stacked against her. But then the ending came along and shattered my heart into tiny pieces and it was so sad and just ASDFGHJkjsdhfsidf I can't deal!!! I was completely in love with the two characters and everything was perfect. It started of as the most beautiful, awkward, cringey, cheesy, adorable love story ever. I had no idea what to expect from this book, but it was absolutely brilliant.
