Resurrecting Sunshine by Lisa A. Koosis

3.0

Adam Rhodes has lost his love Marybeth aka. Sunshine a few years ago but when Dr. Elloran comes to him with a proposal. One that will bring Marybeth - Sunshine back to him he chooses to help give his memories to her to bring Marybeth back. He must face the memories of her death as well as the relationship he is starting with the program founder's daughter Genevieve with a secret of her own. Adam must see just how much he is willing to give to bring Marybeth back.

I loved how complex Adam's character was with many difficult and volatile emotions that were brought to life really well even though this book wasn't very long. The character's personalities made them seem very realistic. This was a very emotional book with many difficult topics like suicide, drugs, and alcohol addictions.

This book had a nice balance of sad and funny scenes keeping the tone of the story lighter than it could have been. The ending was very emotional and the build-up to it was filled with tension for what would happen next.

This is definitely a book for the older part of YA, leaning more towards Adult reading because of the complex and serious issues that this book addresses. Overall though it was a heartbreakingly touching story that I enjoyed.
