Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous by Suzanne Park
4.0
Sunny Song is an upcoming Instagram Influencer/YouTube star who is building her online empire. But her principal is getting complaints from other parents are her elite private school about her posts. The solution? Sunny has to spend her summer at a social media detox camp in order to remain at the school. That means 30 days on a farm in Iowa with no technology, no social media and no way to contact her friends other than old fashioned letter writing. She sneaks in a phone, but there’s no signal!
This was a quick and enjoyable read. I thought the message of how distracting social media can be, and stepping back from it to enjoy life is a really important one for today’s teens. Sunny seemed a little immature at times, but this is YA so I might just be getting old. Sunny did grow and change at the end, and I was glad to see she realized the value of life outside of social media. The character development and Sunny’s growth were really well done. The romance aspect was sweet, and I loved Theo’s character. The real gems of this one are the characters Asian heritage was woven throughout the story.
