Resurrecting Sunshine by Lisa A. Koosis
5.0
I got an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Albert Whitman & Company for sending me a copy!
The writing style of book reminded me so much of [b:I'll Give You the Sun|20820994|I'll Give You the Sun|Jandy Nelson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1458679315s/20820994.jpg|11409817], but kinda like a milder version of it? And if you know me, you'll know that I love love LOVED IGYTS. Which was why I was stuck between rating this book 4.7 stars and 5 stars (I rated IGYTS 5/5 stars). But, in the end, I decided on 5/5 stars because it was truly an enjoyable read.
Another thing I liked about this book is the pace at which the plot unraveled. It got me hooked from the very beginning and never slowed down. I'd say it was an engaging read. The idea of the story contributed much to the appeal of the book as well. The whole concept of cloning humans as well as recreating their memories really intrigued me, and was part of the reason I was so hooked by the book.
I especially loved the debates that crop up throughout the story, like whether a dead person should be resurrected or the part about having a choice about how you live your life, that you have a choice to either throw your life away or survive through the odds. Those topics really opened up my mind and got me thinking about my opinions on them.
Plus, I really liked how the ending played out!
Overall, an interesting, engaging read with great writing style!
