Sunkissed is yet another example of why Kasie West is one of my “automatic buy” authors! To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book by Kasie West that I didn’t enjoy, and I’ve read all of them! Sunkissed is a lighthearted and perfect read for summertime.
Avery’s summer is not going as planned. Her best friend betrayed her, but when Avery is finally (maybe?) ready to talk it through, her parents drag her away to the middle of nowhere for their annual vacation… for three months… with no cell service or internet. Avery decides that she should use this time to rediscover herself and try new things, but she’s not sure where to start. Enter Brooks, the angsty, cute employee with an endearing sob story. Brooks offers to help Avery rediscover herself under one condition: she has to help him win a battle of the bands competition. There’s only one problem: Avery has unbearable stage fright.
First of all, the characters in this book were very likeable in my opinion. Avery and Brooks were both adorable, but many of the supporting characters were likeable as well. Avery’s sister, Lauren, really helped move the story along. Additionally, some of the other teenage employees that Avery befriended at the camp, also added depth to the story.
In addition, the plot of the book wasn’t necessarily fast-paced, but it moved quickly enough to keep me engaged. The scene at the battle of the bands’ tryout added variation to the setting and recaptured my attention further into the novel. Sometimes novels that have mainly one setting can feel a little monotonous or redundant, but that was not the case with this book. I was so absorbed with the interactions between the characters, that it didn’t really matter that most of the book takes place at the camp.
Finally, I’ve found with most Kasie West books that they simply go by so quickly. I read this book in under 24 hours, so it’s perfect if you’re in a reading slump or need a fun, refreshing read. Very few authors have the ability to write in a way where the reader can lose themselves in the book, but Kasie West is one of those talented authors, and Sunkissed is one of those books!
