What Light by Jay Asher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Review originally published on Goodreads – Sep. 6, 2018.
Few thoughts after reading this novel:
– This is quite shorter than what I expected.
– But this is the cheesefest I definitely expected.
– This is instalove, and I kinda love/hate it.
– This is also the type of YA Contemporary I normally would dislike, but maybe the Christmas-y vibes made me like it a bit more?
– Thirteen Reasons Why was a major love for me. I remember reading it in college freshman year (2010 or 2011) and I was moved and amazed and in awe of Jay Asher’s writing. This made me feel like he’s kind of a one hit wonder.
– What Light is not totally bad. It is actually just light and chill read. Not much of a plot. A lot of cliches. I actually liked it. Maybe I was just expecting more.
