A review by antagonist
Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous by Suzanne Park
2.0
This book follows Sunny Song a YouTuber and social media influencer who is sent away to a "teen farm social media rehab". I really wanted to like this book, but it just wasn't for me. That doesn't mean it isn't worth reading... I just for sure wasn't the intended market. This book is fairly anti-social media, which isn't a bad thing, but there is enough of it where it gets annoying.
I couldn't relate to Sunny and didn't care about anything that she cared about. The romance was pretty instant, but they did have cute moments. I really like Mya and felt like she was the best character in the book. There were some genuinely funny moments but sadly, I just wasn't invested.
The antagonist Wendy didn't feel fleshed out and I didn't understand what was fueling her. The real villain turns out to be the casual racism Sunny experienced. #OwnVoices representation is great and I did love seeing Sunny overcome the struggles she faced because she is an Asian American. Overall a cute romance for a younger audience.
