Emma was unlikeable. Her constant whining or complaining eroded any sympathy for her early on and the fact that her apparent trauma was so comparatively silly to some things other YA protagonists have gone through. She might have worked out if Sullivan had toned down her brattiness and worked on making her emotional troubles seem more believable, but alas, that is not the case.
my bad for the how long this reply is getting!! but god it is so great to finally find a review that gives a honest analysis on night owls and summer skies because i constantly see people online adorn this book with ratings which (in my opinion) it is undeserving of. i do understand that everyone has different outlooks, and certain people may like this while others might not, but the negatives of this book feel as if they far outweigh its positives, and what i do lack to understand is just how sullivan managed to mess up an interesting premise as bad as she did
