It's Not Like It's a Secret by Misa Sugiura
3.0
i liked this book. did not love, but it was pleasant. i like misa sugiura’s second book much better, but i’m not sure if that’s because she had more experience at that point or if the story was just more interesting to me.
however, this book raises a question in my head. is it okay to be a type writer (not a typewriter, a type writer)? i think it’s okay to be a type actor. some people’s physical feature just are more stereotypical to a certain personality, so they mostly get cast as that. although, only writing the similar stories with very similar progressions, is that okay? is it lazy? i’m not sure. i have no room to talk because i definitely am a type writer, but that’s from lack of experience. you’d think a published author would have the ability for more variety. sugiura is BY FAR not the worst with this, though. miles away from the worst. plus, her books are still quite enjoyable (unlike sarah dessen who is very guilty of type writing).
perhaps, i’m looking too far into this. people usually just write a mix of what they enjoy and what they can get good money for. misa sugiura has found that, i think. meaningful topics that are personal, but also are within the genre that ya readers just eat up. i can admire that.
