Described as “The queer prom romance you didn’t know you needed,” Rise to the Sun comes to us from the same author of You Should See Me In A Crown, which MADAMENOIRE listed as a top feel-good book by Black authors to read. Rise to the Sun could have easily made that list as well. It tells the story of young adult Olivia who has just lost her father and what feels like part of her identity. She attends a local music and arts festival to reconnect to her love of music. There she finds and feels a connection to Toni, and when an unexpected incident turns the festival on its head, the two have to rely on each other to make it through.
