What happens when your entire life sort of implodes in just one day and it's sort of mostly your own fault?? Sunshine Mackenzie is about to find out.

You may or may not like the characters in this book, or how they handle their individual situations. But it is a quick ready, easy to get through, and compelling enough to keep turning pages.

I liked how this book jumped right into the goings on - from chapter 1 we're with Sunny as things.start.happening. I also appreciated the short chapters - it makes me feel like I'm meeting lots of milestones along the way. There were a few instances where I felt like transitions were a little choppy, or there may not have been enough foundation for some of the plot being told. But mostly good things.

There are some f swears, for those who like to know about that ahead of making their reading choice.

I finished this one in a day- on vacation- and it was just perfect! I really enjoyed this story! I loved the real-life, flawed characters in all their ups & downs, and I really enjoyed the relationships that developed throughout! (Friendships, family, and romantic connections)
This book didn’t go as I predicted, and I loved the outcome & ending!

Great read anytime- but absolutely perfect for the beach, backyard or just to settle in to on the couch for a few hours of uninterrupted reading! :)

It started out slow, but once you got into the story, the life lessons that are in this book are wonderful especially regarding our uses of technology. Very well done.

It was a light read. I enjoyed it. I did want more of an ending. But I get it.

The beginning hits the ground running. It wasn’t hard for me to get into. Around halfway lags a little, but then it picks back up. It’s overall a good book, but doesn’t have the ‘typical’ ending… it left me wanting more. Good read

I like that the storyline does not use all of the usual tropes!
