This Time It's Real

I really wanna call myself Ann Liang's biggest fan. I love her books so far. First she creates the masterpiece If You Could See the Sun and then she makes this and I wanna re-read it already.

I don't know who I love more, Henry Li or Caz Song. I'd like to say Henry Li because he's the first Ann Liang mmc I read about, but there's something I value in Caz that edges on Henry even more. But then again, Henry is Henry and that's enough.

I rarely scream while reading a book but I screamed today at one point roughly 65-70% of the way through. To say it was startling is an understatement, I never knew it was possible to freak out at my own scream.

I shouted on many occassions, mostly anger. I laughed a LOT, many thanks to Eliza Lin. I loved that her friendship with Zoe could defy all odds and wish I could have a speck of that with anyone. I've only ever moved schools twice but still could never keep in touch with friends for long, who knows if it's ever my fault or theirs. So I felt a lot of Eliza's hurt and isolation as if it were my own, it got far too personal MANY times.

Okay, well that got deep... Thank you, Ann Liang, you made me feel something!!!

4.5 stars!
