Thank you to Suzanne Park and Sourcebooks Fire for my ARC of Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous! Wow, I flew through this book (of course, it helped that the plot is filled with reminders not to look at my phone all the time). This was such a fun read about friendship and appreciating the simple things in life. Like all teenagers, Sunny has her high and low points, but I loved seeing her growth throughout the novel. With the help of her friends, old and new, she learns that some things are more important than how many likes and comments she gets on her posts.
While the book wrapped up quickly, her decisions at the end of the story were both satisfying and realistic. It gave me all the warm fuzzies I look for in a quick YA contemporary.
Here's a short list of other things I liked:
- Sassy elderly side characters
- Parents who can admit that they made a mistake
- The adorable opposites-attract romance
- Sunny addressing racist microaggressions about not being considered an "Amercian"
- Chickens
I definitely recommend using this book as a light beach read or a casual reminder to put down your phone!

This was a fun read but kind of like stupid. Like she’s not that addicted to social media. I wish her parents like listen to her more. I do also wish there was more interaction between her and her friends. Also like there’s Addiction and it like closes at all but not really so I wish she touched more on that.
Overall it was fun but nothing amazing.
