BOOK REVIEW : Sunshine Becomes You


The story began with Alex Hirano, an infamous pianist, went to Ray Hirano's dancing studio because his little brother insisted to take Alex out of his apartment. There, an incidentally meeting between Alex and Mia was triggered. The incident was so fast, Mia Clark, a teacher of that studio, fell down from the stairs and made Alex's hand injured, which made Alex's long planned concert ruined. Mia felt at fault, and of course Alex thought that it was Mia's fault too. Mia thought, to repent on her fault she needed to be Alex's right hand. She went to Alex's apartment everyday to made Alex coffee, do cleaning, and such. Alex wasn't very delighted at first.

After that long time they spent together, at least Mia could peek at Alex's heart, see him smiling, and many more, and so did Alex. They actually could feel their heart jumped off.

At one time, Alex found out that Mia was a great dancer and a graduate from his university, which of faculty of dancing was so hard to get in. But in fact, Mia stopped dancing already from a disease. Well, I don't want to tell what's the disease was~

So then, it was about the struggle between Mia, her dancing, and the disease. Alex was always beside Mia, comforting and supporting her. And then, it was the time when Alex would miss Mia's coffee every morning.

I think the storyline is so good, but I don't really like the ending. Ilana Tan represented her imagination into beautiful words, and I respected her. However, I haven't read her novels beside this and Winter in Tokyo. Well, back to the topic, it supposed to be a tear-jerking story.

The ending was hard to predict at a few first chapters, and it was so easy when the hint was given. I like how the twist in the story, but still I don't like the ending. If I can, I want to make it into a better ending. But it was for the best. The novel is from a best-seller author after all.
