Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson

2.0

For some reason this just didn’t hit. I get what the author was trying to do. A story with a music festival as background. And two young girls, insecure, not knowing what they want in life.

But. The ‘event’ that’s mentioned on the back of the book, happened at 2/3. I was like, when is it coming?? and it was minor. Which in the context makes sense, but I wanted more.

Because the book takes place over two whole days, I didn’t really feel the story reached its potential.

Do have to say that the book has some powerful lines and critiques on certain topics, which was nice.
The fact that I kind of skimmed the book after reading only 80 pages, made it a 2,5 ⭐️ for me. Not bad, just not for me.
