I think Ann Liang just altered my brain chemistry. How am I supposed to go on the with my day as tho my every thought isn't of her poetic words? How is every word that comes out of my mouth not supposed to be about this masterpiece and the last three pages?

"Because even though I’m smart, I’m not that smart. Not the kind of prodigy-level smart you would expect to find at Harvard, the kind that would allow me to skip all my classes and still rank first in every test, that would make everything come easily. I don’t say this in a self-pitying way, either; I’ve long acknowledged and accepted my limitations, and done my best to compensate for them with sheer willpower and hard work"

i hope this doesn't find you by ann liang

because beneath my apprehension is the stronger, deeply ingrained need to be liked. to be accepted. to be forgiven. to be recognized as good. i'll do anything to redeem myself.

I Hope This Doesn't Find You awoke something in me cause how the heck did Ann Liang write this one? Never thought I'd find a couple better than Henry and Alice but Sadie and Julius are IT DUO. I cannot comprehend someone actually hating this book. The banter was serving a 5-course meal. Ann Liang woke up and decided to write one of the best literary evidence of academic rivals to exist. The internal monologue written for Sadie (which I horrifyingly could relate to) was typed out while Ann's rent was due and the landlord was outside her front door, knocking for the money. I'm this book's sole protector and defender from today onwards. I'm ready to cut off my limbs for Ann to write similar books, even ready for a liver or kidney transplant. I'm ready to donate whatever fortune I have (comprised mainly of books) for this woman to never stop publishing.

P.S. Julius Gong is so hot and so intelligent??? like I don't even blame Sadie.

Ok I finished the main story of If You Could See The Sun by Ann Liang (I loved it!!!)

And now I'm reading the bonus Henry pov chapters and *deep inhale* *immediately starts wheezing* Oh my god this boy is so so much more pathetic than I expected!!🤣🤣🤣

Even he admits that this is masochistic of him I can't-

Hope is such a terrible thing. It’s like a bad habit you can’t shake off, a stray dog that keeps showing up outside your door for scraps, even when you have nothing left to give. Every time you think you’re rid of it at last, it manages to sneak its way back in. Take over.

— Ann Liang, This Time It's Real
