It was really good at the beginning but then it got boring and also the ending happened all at once. I decided on three stars at first but the last 50% of the book ruined it.

There are many remarkable characters which are presented through a dual POV and this brings you a contrast personality between the reserved Tessa and the spontaneous Weston, and the different path that they chose to heal themselves. You’ll find that you can’t help but root for each and every single one of the characters in this book. The main characters, Tessa and Weston, are obviously the center of this story and it will be impossible to not like them. But we are surprised to find ourselves to be falling for the other side characters too, starting from Rudy — Weston’s best friend, Tessa’s grandpa and grandma, to Weston’s three little brothers — Noah, Aidan and Henry. Review to come, because I am still DECEASED. But that was one of the best books I have ever read. I cannot wait for you all to read it. :') I would say that you should answer yes. And that you don’t just brush this off as an impassioned kiss. It’s a matter of consent. And I actually have a book with great consent to recommend to you. I’ve mentioned it before, but Coming Up for Air was one of the best books I’ve come across when it comes to consent, YA or otherwise. The characters make it a priority to discuss everything and listen to one another, and to make sure they’re comfortable with the direction their relationship is going. And of course, I think the book is pretty great in general.

This novel is an incredible coming-of-age love story wrapped in relatable modern setup with wonderful representation of mental illness and disability. EDIT, 05/22/2019: After several days of consideration, I've chosen to lower my rating to one star. The few aspects of this book that I enjoyed didn't improve my experience enough to justify two. Sorry, Abbie. Weston, man. Just....Weston. He's brilliant and I adored him and his outlook and I felt for his internal struggle so much. The broken, hurting, optimistic, bright boys are always my favorites. He reminded me a lot of one of my own characters in that respect. And all his brothers! I LOVED IT. He was such a unique, fresh, lovable guy. I loved it.

Going into this book, I had a pretty good idea that I was going to be a fan. My love for Abbie aside, it sounded right up my alley. However, there really aren't words for just how much I fell head over heels in love with 100 Days of Sunlight. Tessa’s apology for her hurtful actions later on did little to help her character. I found myself more frustrated than not when she tried to right her many wrongs. We didn't get inside her head enough to know what initiated her apology, or how she arrived at the decision that it was something she needed to do. It just seemed like something the writer felt compelled to include to make her more likable, or at least more empathetic. It felt like the writer was simply dictating a series of events that would be expected happen rather than a real character taking action in their world, of their own volition.By the time Abbie Emmons was ready to publish her first book, she had built up an audience as a blogger, YouTuber, and Bookstagrammer. But having an audience doesn’t automatically mean success; eyeballs don’t equal engagement. So when Abbie Emmons was getting ready to publish her novel about two teens with disabilities who fall for each other, she knew she was going to have to work to turn her audience into her launch team. The story kind of read like a really intense outline??? I felt like the author kind of pounded the theme over my head with almost every paragraph, which was a little...distracting? Idk, I had some problems with the grammatical side of things, but it wasn’t too big of a deal. I was able to send everyone from my YouTube channel over to NetGalley to request the book, and that first rush of requests helped me to rank high in my category [appearing in the Most Requested section], which in turn gave my book more exposure to new ARC readers. I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! The plot!! Can I just express how much I AM IN LOVE WITH THE PLOT?? It's so genius!! Executed so flawlessly . . . This was another thing that I hated in the book. It was cramped. Like literally nothing interesting happens other than the predictable thing. I feel it could have been written better, more exciting, more ‘ah, that was a nice read’ kind of thing. Disappointed. And also, not a big fan of the romance! :/ I mean…it was cliché insta love.

What’s more than that, Tessa’s reaction was just to assume that someone asking for a kiss was a rhetorical question. Boy, I don’t know how to start this. I have a hate-like relationship with him. Sometimes I like him, sometimes not so much. Eh. SAINTS I AM TURNING INTO A CANADIAN!! I think my favorite thing about this book was all-in-all how very real it was. Seriously, nothing felt impossible or even implausible. I felt like it could very well be non-fiction, and everything was spot-on. You can tell Abbie has put her years of experience writing into this, along with some pieces of herself.I absolutely loved this book. Tessa and Weston were both really interesting characters.Their journey was fantastic. … This is an extremely clean YA book, so it's a great book for pre-teens and teens." I also love how family played a large role in the plot. From Tessa's grandparents, to Weston's brothers, you could see how love is shown in different aspects of the story. I also truly ship Weston and Rudy's relationship. It's the kind of bromance that's so cute yet so important. Days of Sunlight was such a fun read. My emotions are still a mess, so we’ll just jump right into the review. 😉 Abbie Emmons is an able-bodied person writing about two disabled individuals, one of which who is only disabled temporarily, as a plot device to...
