How am I supposed to write a review after this?
I feel like Ann Liang reached into my brain, scooped out all the sad, messy bits, and then charged me $14.99 for it.
I already knew I would be devastated by this book, but when "let's just read 50 pages", turned into "I can't breathe until I finish this book", I knew I was ruined.
I've had Midnight Rain going around my head for days now. The craving for academic validation was written perfectly. The grief? The expectations? It all felt so personal.
I love how Jenna's relationship with Jessica changed over the course of the book, and the relationship arcs with her family and friends did an incredible job of showing Jenna's own arc.
Of course, the romance was perfect (have I said perfect already?) That ending hit me so hard I legitimately was holding my breath as I read.
I would recommend this to all of the "this is me trying" readers (especially those who feel too much or who push themselves too far). This book made me feel seen, and I can't wait to read it again.
