Sunny G's Series of Rash Decisions by Navdeep Singh Dhillon

4.0

3.5 rounded up

This was a fun YA #ownvoices Ferris Buellers day off-esque prom night story. It takes place over one night as straight-laced Sunny G, a Sikh teen who has drastically rejected a fundamental part of his culture and is dealing with his grief over the tragic death of his brother and Mindii Vang, a Hmong girl who is all about living life to the fullest.

Mindii steals Sunny's brother's notebook, setting off a chain of events that leads these two teens around the city on a series of increasingly rash and romantic adventures where they try new things and take chances Sunny never would have ordinarily taken.

I really enjoyed how well this story dealt with being a family member of an alcoholic, the diversity and cultural representation of the characters and that Sunny had a stutter he had to work hard to not feel self-conscious about.

Heartfelt with depth. This book is such a great YA story. I really enjoyed it on audio and definitely recommend for fans of books like Sway with me or Radha and Jai's recipe for romance.
