While this type of skin issue isn’t unheard of, it certainly is rare, and it’s about to chance Viola’s life. When eighteen year old Viola Li has a strange reaction when she is selling her baked goods to raise money, she isn’t prepared for the news that will follow: she has a type of photosensitivity, which means she is essentially having allergic reactions to the sun.
“‘We think we have control over everything, only we don’t. Justina Chen has such a talent for writing, and while I have to say I haven’t read any of her other books, reading this one has prompted me to have a desire to collect all of her others and read those, as well.Īlso, the constant Firefly love in this book had me falling head over heels – I’m a Firefly fan, too (as well as a baking fan), so I felt like I could really connect with the main character – I wanted her as a best friend! Lovely, Dark, and Deep not only has a catchy title and an absolutely fantastic synopsis, but the writing within the pages of this book flows perfectly. So yes, Lovely, Dark, and Deep not only grabbed my attention due to its physical appeal, but the story itself was completely original, fun to read, and the characters were so easy to develop a kind of connection with.
When I came across Lovely, Dark, and Deep by Christina Chen, I fell in love with the cover, the synopsis, and let’s face it – the super awesome way the pages get darker and darker gradually as the book goes on (it’s really cool – I highly recommend checking the physical edition of this book out). I knew I was going to enjoy this book when I first read about it – I’m drawn to books that focus on teens dealing with realistic issues, whether they be medical issues, social issues, etc.
