Sunkissed
by Kasie West
CAWPIRE — 5.7 / 10
Sunkissed follows Avery and her family as they spend two months in a remote family camp with no cell service or internet. This works amazingly for Avery since she wants to distance herself from her best friend, who kissed her ex-boyfriend. Messy, right? So Avery takes the Summer to escape relationship drama and live new experiences, like meeting Brooks, the cute guitar player working at the camp.
Although I hate keeping my book reviews short, there isn’t much that I feel like talking about regarding this story. It was okay, and that's the worst for me. It didn’t leave me excited, or curious, or attached to the characters. It’s your typical summer camp experience, with new friends, a blooming romance, and some Dirty Dancing vibes. There’s nothing terrible about this story, but there’s also nothing good or excellent; it’s too generic.
Two things I did enjoy, though. I’m a sucker for sibling relationships, so I enjoyed Avery's development with her sister and their journey to understand each other and value their differences. It would be even better if the relationship with the parents was explored more, but it’s not the point of the book. Second, this story is so easy to picture in your head because it’s so much like Summer teen movies. It could premiere on Netflix tomorrow, and I would watch it.
Sunkissed is your typical teenage story filled with drama, romance, overcoming fears and anxieties, and even finding a new talent and joining a music festival. If you’re a fan of teen Summer movies, Sunkissed is a book for you.
