What happens when your entire life sort of implodes in just one day and it's sort of mostly your own fault?? Sunshine Mackenzie is about to find out.
You may or may not like the characters in this book, or how they handle their individual situations. But it is a quick ready, easy to get through, and compelling enough to keep turning pages.
I liked how this book jumped right into the goings on - from chapter 1 we're with Sunny as things.start.happening. I also appreciated the short chapters - it makes me feel like I'm meeting lots of milestones along the way. There were a few instances where I felt like transitions were a little choppy, or there may not have been enough foundation for some of the plot being told. But mostly good things.
There are some f swears, for those who like to know about that ahead of making their reading choice.

Sunshine Mackenzie is a hot mess and kind of the worst, and I'm reallllly picky about books with unlikable protagonists (I just...don't usually want to read about them, ha!) - so I'm surprised how much I really enjoyed this book!

Expected more out of the ending - felt incomplete and rushed.

I read contemporary fiction that isn't a romance! Such a cheery looking cover, though.
Definitely a book to read if you like unreliable narrators. I like the way this book was put together. I didn't always or often like Sunshine, but I liked reading her story.
Also, it had a satisfying and not-unrealistic ending.
