If You Could See the Sun

Product Information

I was initially quite interested in the concept of If You Could See the Sun, but the execution of its most compelling concepts — academic rivals to lovers, an interrogation of elite Beijing educational institutions, the supernatural element of invisibility — left me feeling incredibly jaded, leading to a rather half-hearted finish of the book. For how analytical she is, she is also such an emotional little bean who wears her feelings on her sleeve.

Alice wants so badly to be successful, to be something more, and this dream still applies to her even after they’ve left America. Upon discovering her parents can no longer afford their portion of her schooling and with the new ability she now obtains, Alice takes into her own hands to devise a plan to earn all the money she needs to pay for her own tuition.Liang paints a clear picture of what it's like to struggle for certain advantages that are seemingly handed to others, skillfully exploring themes of classism and privilege via a sympathetic protagonist who feels--sometimes literally--invisible. She is a determined girl who may not immediately know her exact direction in life, but wants to succeed no matter what.

Alice never really seemed too much into Henry at all, so the random flirty scenes didn’t really do much for me. The other party involved, the ‘evil mastermind’, so to speak, was barely even a force to be reckoned with. As the only scholarship student at Airington Boarding School, Alice Sun has to be one of the top students.i 100% wasn’t expecting the commentary on racism and classism, but it is something that should always be talked about when it’s appropriate, and it was woven into the story so well.
