 The Hard Truth About Sunshine

Review: The Hard Truth about Sunshine - Sawyer Bennett - March 2017

Did you ever watch that TV show Red Band Society ? The one where the group of teens were stuck in the hospital together because they were all sick and it followed their journey, their lives and the fun times and the bad ? Sawyer Bennett's new book The Hard Truth about Sunshine struck me as a New Adult version of the TV Show.  Each one of the characters met in group therapy at a local church, they are all messed up one way or another and soon will realise that they will only have each other to rely on.  The Hard Truth about Sunshine flips between the past - leading up to where the characters are today to the present - where they are now. The group is currently on a road trip ticking off each of their bucket list moments . Each person in the book has suffered some personal tragedy but soon will realise that life with one another is something that can make the slightest difference and help us to live another day or find the Sunshine in each and every situation.  A warning to readers as this book does trigger alot of emotions and targets a number of different issues from genetic diseases, cancer , family members dying , abuse and PTSD . In a way The Hard Truth About Sunshine was a Red Band Society meets The Breakfast Club kind of book while on the road trip of a lifetime and for some of the characters it may be the very last thing that they ever do. If you are wanting an ugly cry book and a powerful yet inspiring at the same time read , then Sawyer Bennett's new book "The Hard Truth about Sunshine" is the read for you.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
