Publisher's summary

From Laura Dave - the author of the "addictive" (Us Weekly), "winning" (Publishers Weekly), and critically acclaimed best seller Eight Hundred Grapes - comes a new novel about the secrets we keep...even from ourselves.

Sunshine Mackenzie truly is living the dream. A lifestyle guru for the modern age, Sunshine is beloved by millions of people who tune in to her YouTube cooking show, and millions more scour her website for recipes, wisdom, and her enticing suggestions for how to curate a perfect life. She boasts a series of New York Times best-selling cookbooks, a devoted architect husband, and a reputation for sincerity and kindness - Sunshine seems to have it all.

But she's hiding who she really is. And when her secret is revealed, her fall from grace is catastrophic. What Sunshine does in the ashes of destruction will save her in more ways than she can imagine.

In our modern world, where celebrity is a careful construct, Laura Dave's compelling, enticing novel explores the devastating effect of the secrets we keep in public...and in private. Hello, Sunshine is a fresh, provocative look at a woman teetering between a scrupulously assembled life and the redemptive power of revealing the truth.

Review

I wish it would have had closure and more final. It just seemed choppy and incomplete.

Sunshine

This book for me was interesting. It does a pretty good job of bringing self awareness of the main character (Sunshine) and how social media distorts ourselves to ourselves. How fudging a bit here and there starts to become true to ourselves when it truly isn’t ourself. I know that is a confusing statement but so is how social
Media has distorted us! How many followers do I have….did they like my post….

Characters to Hate and Not Much Sunshine

Difficult to stick with a book featuring phony, chronic liars without much of a moral compass, doing hateful things to each other. The perfirmance was the only really goid thing about the book.

It left me wanting.

It left me wanting an ending instead of uncertainty, but it left you where life tends to leave us all on uncertain terms.

Cute, but just okay.

I didn’t care for the presenter’s male voices at all. The story was cute
but predictable.

Good listen!

I enjoyed listening to this, but was disappointed by the ending. It was not predictable, but just not the ending I wanted. It was s great change from my normal psychological thrillers.

Real

Struggled to stay with the language but midway through the characters with the poor ability to articulate disappeared into the background and the storyline came into the forefront and drew me in. It was refreshing.

Not sure why

Was it to soap opera for me. But couldn't finish.
I don't care about her demise. Maybe bc I know the main character is goingf downhill I didn't want to take the ride.
