Shine on me

I'll start writing most of my reviews in chapters here now rather than commenting in the book a lot.

Cover- the cover is very pretty but I find it strange that only the guys are on it when the story revolves around Hana's life.


Plot and characters-

Let's talk about Hana. Honestly she has a VERY difficult life. Other than her grandparents dying, her father recently passed away from an extremely painful death and her mother is also sick with a heart condition.

She is poor and has to work a lot of jobs but one horrible part of her life that she has not yet recovered from was that she was raped several years ago and the man is back to haunt her.

This makes her life an especially terrible one to live and although the circumstances she's in can make the story look too exaggerated I love how you made it sound very realistic. I did not once feel like it was too unrealistically exaggerated.

I think it was because of the way she handled all that grief, you can tell she felt it every single day and she carried it with her but she didn't let it stop her from moving forward.

I've seen this a lot of times on Wattpad. Sometimes The girl's life is extraordinarily terrible, she is too depressed and sad all the time and the readers get bored of her or she is too happy and cheerful all the time and considering the situation that would be too unrelatable. So I wanted to say good job on finding a good balance.

I feel like it would be nice if we got to know her a bit more because the stronger the bond with the main character the more addicting the book. Because right now we know her situation but I'd like to know the way she dresses, what her house looks like, what her favorite food is. You could talk about one of her favorite memories to show that her life isn't alway sad and there are ups and downs like everyone else's.

Now for Jin. Ok I'm sorry to say this but I absolutely HATE him. I don't like his personality and the cruel way he treats Hana but most of all the fact that he saw Hana get raped and just walked away is something I cannot still process.

How could someone walk away like that? Especially from it happening to YOUR close friend? He didn't save her but he also didn't bother calling the cops or ANYBODY ELSE. but worst of all HE LIED IN COURT AND PRETENDED LIKE HE DIDNT SEE ANYTHING- this makes Hana seem like a liar.

Can you imagine? Being raped and then being seen as a liar because your close friend just pretended like he didn't see you.

The fact that Hana still speaks to him, even if it's been years, astonishes me and I don't know whether to give her a pat on the back for having a big heart or thinking she's crazy for still acknowledging his existence because that guy would be dead to me.

Overall I understand that the book is still ongoing and Jin probably has some secret reasons but he has some MAJOR redemption doing and even still I personally don't think I can ever see him as the main love interest, I much more prefer the other guys.

The plot is well written and unravels as the story goes on, the chapters are short and the story is easy to read and doesn't get boring. I enjoyed it, good job 💕
