I found this in the teen section of the library. Commence the typical themes of unrequited love written in a girly narrative, stringent parent figures, and a rebellious spirit. For Darkness Shows the Stars takes place in a dystopia setting where there are two distinct classes of human beings--thus, the featured relationship is even more dramatic because it is forbidden. I need light and cheesy books like these to entertain me during the semester. Reading the classics isn't much of a break from reading textbooks for me.
This book served its purpose for me: a light diversion from the stress of school. The heroine, unsurprisingly, achieves her happily-ever-after ending, and the reader is left with a satisfied feeling.
Side note: one of the back pages of the book promoted a "killer unicorn" series by the same author. It actually said "Forget everything you every knew about unicorns." WTF? First of all, who knows anything about made-believe creatures? Second of all, as corny it sounds, it does intrigue me...
