If you can get past an angsty, short fused 16 year old girl who is the main character, you will find that this book is so well written and you come to realise how sad the characters and story line actually is. After Sunny's mother dies, she has to go live with her stepfather whom she blames for her mother's accident until a boy goes missing in her local town and she is forced to rethink everything she ever thought about her stepfather and the people in her town. I love books set in rural Australia with small town drama that can send a whole town in to chaos however I think if less focus was on Sunny and her, what I found to be at times unbearable attitude and disrespect to those trying to help her, the book could have explored other characters more as they were just as complex and damaged with their own story to tell.

Honestly this story wasnf bad it actually ended up being a great story but ths main character annoyed me to the point of wanting to DNF this book every other chapter but i pushed through. It was a great story with some tough topics discussed and explored but honeslty its couldve been so much more. I found it mostly boring though the ending saved the story a bit.

Such an amazing book!! Absolutely love how its set in Queensland and how it gives heaps of context. Not even half way through and hooked.

3.5 stars. This had really lovely writing, and was a well-crafted story. It particularly did a good job of exploring the different ways people deal with grief.
