Meh, she wasn't very likable or a good person. Overall, the premise was OK that the online world is fake. ( )

This was fine. This was solid. This was enjoyable. This wasn't addictive.
 
I felt like this was just so close to me loving it, but I never really became completely drawn in. Why? I'm not sure. This had solid writing, an interesting plot, and some well-drawn characters. But meh.
 
First of all, "spoiler" alert, the big fall from grace is simply that she didn't write her own recipes and isn't from where she said she's from. If she had been a bestselling author, I might have felt differently, but I found it hard to take the big deal seriously because they're recipes, and especially with the internet, recipes are so widely spread that anyone could have created them.
 
Our main character is immediately introduced as unlikeable and not entirely honest and I loved that about her until she proved to be quiet mediocre and kind of likeable but definitely not unlikeable. I think I got too excited about having a villainous main character that to then have her be jovial was not terribly fun. The book doesn't take her through any big changes personality-wise and she doesn't really grow or change.
 
Her new job and her family was probably the redeeming aspect of this book--she has an adorable niece and her sister has some interesting friends. The interactions amongst them were fun to watch, though their history was strange. I loved reading about her new job within the restaurant industry and her strange boss. I wanted to see more of that.
You'll probably enjoy reading this. I did. But it's not one I'll write home about.
 
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

3- There’s not much to say about this mostly predictable tale, but come visit me anyway and read my nugget review here. ( )

I loved all of Laura Dave's books and this did not disappoint. Quirky story and I love stories that don't have to go sideways to make a good read ( )

Hello Sunshine was a fun read, perfect for my beach trip - in part, because it is a quick read at around 250 pages, and because I had to suspend reality at times with some holes in the plot and some eyebrow raising moments - but I won't share them, because otherwise I'd spoil it.

With keen perspective on how what we see in social media is often smoke, mirrors, and a carefully cultivated view of our lives, what happens when that view is shattered made for reading that

The tension and anxiety of not knowing who basically destroyed the illusion of her life, her marriage, and with it, everything else, or why, was palpable; in the face of it all, Sunny was resilient - more resilient than I expected her put-on personality of Sunshine-the-You-Tube personality to be. I confess, I had a hard time feeling sorry for her dragging return to Montauk (there are far worse places to be) but she slowly finds her true self there.

This is the real meat of the story, honestly - when she returns to her childhood home and faces her prickly sister, faces the ghosts of her father and childhood, and finds herself once again. I do love a redemption story, although the ending????

*sighs*

I confess, the ending caught me off guard, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book. However, at times light-hearted, and others surprisingly introspective, I enjoyed this book. ( )
