This book is a good YA story and emphasizes in a way that’s not overbearing how important it is to enjoy real life activities and genuine human interaction versus spending unlimited amounts of time focused on a phone or computer screen. The book is about the pressure that comes with committing yourself to creating social content and getting “likes” at the sacrifice of the other important things in life.
The heart of the story is set up where the parents of a high achieving teenager feel she needs an intervention because her social engagement seems to be interfering with what they feel should be more important priorities in her life. So they send her to a summer camp designed to help teens detox fr social media. The story feels like a Disney 90s movie that has an innocent puppy love romance, new friendships, rivals, zany situations, and misunderstandings that the heroine has to get herself out of. It’s reminiscent of good clean fun and I highly recommend it as a cute lighthearted read with some beneficial life lessons about how making real life memories and building in-person relationships can be so much better than anything you create online.
I listened to the audiobook and feel the narrator, Joy Osmanski, had a lot of fun portraying the main character, Sunny Song. Ms. Osmanski delivered teen Sunny’s inner dialogue and witty comments in a way I found very entertaining.
