sunny g has one thing from his late brother: his notebook, which sunny decides to fill up with a series of rash decisions. among these decisions includes not wearing his turban, cutting off his hair, and shaving off his beard. he looks like a new person, and he decides to bring this look to prom, though he has to go alone. mindii vang ends up stealing his notebook, causing sunny to run after her, and make even more rash decisions along the way.
i was so excited when i heard of this story. there are only a handful of young adult books in which the main character stutters, and the story sounded exciting besides that as well. i also like books that take place over a short timeframe, and this one mainly took place on prom night. sunny was also a fun character which i appreciated.
now, for what i didn’t like. i felt like the story bounced around too much. which…i get it, a story about rash decisions will be scattered. but the way this was executed in the book just threw me off. they’d be in one place and then all of a sudden in another, and i had no recollection of them getting to that other place. so, i think the transitions from one place to another could have been better, because it just really confused me and took me out of the story while it was happening. i wasn’t super enthralled by the story itself, either. i’m wondering if this could have been better if it were given a longer timeframe (maybe taking place over the semester/school year rather than one night), but i’m not too sure.
