Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
3.0
If you haven’t read Leah Johnson's debut book You Should See Me in a Crown, you absolutely should!
In the novel Rise to The Sun, we follow Toni and Olivia’s POV through a three-day span at a musical festival. Overall, this book is okay for me. I believe the timeline of three days was way too quick for true character development. However, I do believe this book can be important to some. Especially, Queer Black Girls. This book also tackle some very deep issues such as racism, gun violence, anxiety, grief and sexual harassment.
Overall, I just wanted more from this book. I truly enjoyed the beginning of the book but eventually, it became repetitive and I feel as if we weren’t getting anywhere. If you are into musical festivals and insta love tropes this book is for you.
