This was not what I expected in a really good way, it is a mix of university life story with a very sweet romance that weaves its way throughout. I enjoyed it quite a bit and would highly recommend.

This is a sweet YA coming-of-age novel about Lukas and Kara, a star-crossed couple who are estranged as the book opens. Lukas is in college and is beloved by his classmates as he is a born leader, scholar, and friend. But he is haunted by the memories of Kara, the young Hindi girl he met when they were eleven as he fell head-over-heels in love immediately. Told in alternating chapters of past and present, the novel chronicles the angst Lukas feels as he struggles to make sense of the rare sighting he had of Kara one day on campus. Poignant and lyrical, the book is a testament to young love, sacrifice, friendship, and redemption.

When I received an email asking me if I wanted to review this book, I was a little confused at first. This because my last review on his first book wasn’t as positive as I had hoped it would be. It just simply couldn’t get through the storyline and missed some excitement.
Hesitant I accepted and started in Munching on the Sun..
I’ve struggled with this, at least as much as with Oleksiw’s last book.. the way he formulates his sentences, the words he uses.. I can’t get into the story. And so -After 150 pages I decided to stop reading this book.
