Dye Rising

Recommended to everyone who has been disappointed in adolescence. This is not a sweet love story. It writes: What should you do when you find that your crush is "lighter" than others, when you find that your friends have walked away without knowing it, when your secret is revealed and the whole world laughs at you. Lin Ran's answer is: delete him and move on. Gu Nian'an's answer is: disappear. Zhang Jun's answer is: Get better in silence. Song Ying's answer is: lock yourself up. Four kinds of people, four kinds of growth. It all hurts. What made me most distressed in this book was not the breakup, but when Gu Nian'an said, "You are the first person who didn't think I was weird." He did nothing wrong, he just liked someone. If you've ever thought you were "special" and later found out you weren't - you'll understand Lin Ran. If you have ever liked someone but dare not say it - you will understand Zhang Jun. If you have ever become someone you don't even recognize because of jealousy - you will understand Song Ying. If you have ever liked someone just because they are the same gender as you - you will understand Gu Nian'an.
