About this audiobook
When seventeen-year-old Eliza Lin's essay about meeting the love of her life unexpectedly goes viral, her entire life changes overnight. Now she has the approval of her classmates at her new international school in Beijing, a career-launching internship opportunity at her favorite magazine...and a massive secret to keep.
Eliza made her essay up. She's never been in a relationship before, let alone in love. All good writing is lying, right?
Desperate to hide the truth, Eliza strikes a deal with the famous actor in her class, the charming but aloof Caz Song. She'll help him write his college applications if he poses as her boyfriend. Caz is a dream boyfriend -- he passes handwritten notes to her in class, makes her little sister laugh, and takes her out on motorcycle rides to the best snack stalls around the city.
But when her relationship with Caz starts feeling a little too convincing, all of Eliza's carefully laid plans are threatened. Can she still follow her dreams if it means breaking her own heart?
Ann Liang
Ann Liang is an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne. Born in Beijing, she grew up travelling back and forth between China and Australia, but somehow ended up with an American accent. When she isn't stressing out over her college assignments or writing, she can be found making over-ambitious to-do lists, binge-watching dramas, and having profound conversations with her pet labradoodle about who's a good dog. If You Could See The Sun is her debut novel.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Once again Ann liang doesn’t disappoint with this second book ❤️I really feel for Eliza and I get the feeling of loneliness and how she can’t outright express her own feelings straight to all the people she loves regarding also her fears of being hurt I can’t blame her for that. Man this book has got me to pieces and reformed me again in the end
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars for me. I thought the story was cute! I would have liked to have enjoyed more time in the development portion of their relationship as opposed to the reservations stage. More insight to Caz's life through their interactions would have helped me root a little harder for both characters. I loved the audio version.
