Midnight Sun has a very Five Feet Apart feel,
with a protagonist suffering from a rare disease that keeps her quarantined
(see what I did there) to her home during daylight hours. Katie home schools herself and has zero
social contacts besides her father and her one friend. One night, she has an awkward face to face
encounter with the cutest boy in school, (after sunset, of course) a boy she
has watched from her bedroom window for years.
Katie and Charlie begin a cute night-time, summer courtship. Katie finds it difficult to tell Charlie the
truth about her medical condition, and one night, they lose track of time and
find themselves racing home at sunrise.
Let’s just say, bad things happen.
If you are looking for a cute, YA, quick-read, Midnight
Sun would be a good choice. Coming
in at 258 pages, I think I read it in about 24 hours.
– 4 stars
