I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. 
 I first came across Laura Dave after listening to the audiobook of Eight Hundred Grapes. Deciding to give it a try was my way of picking up a book I normally wouldn't read and expanding into different genres. I am so happy I did because I fell in love with that book. I must say reading Hello, Sunshine was no different. 
 I literally could not put this book down and finished it in less than 24 hours. Hello, Sunshine is captivating from the very beginning. The foreboding and inevitable hint of a scandal about to hit the fan was too juicy for me to look away despite knowing things would not end well for the main character Sunshine. And boy was it as juicy as a ripe tomato. 
 Sunshine Mackenzie is a popular Food Network star who is about to hit the television scene with her own show and a book deal right around the corner, but it all goes awry with a few simple tweets. Sunshine looses everything she held dear; her husband, her home, and her career. She is then forced to move back home to Montauk. It is there that Sunshine tries to find herself and get back what she's lost. Herself. 
 I was blown away at how good this story was. So much so that I couldn't stop reading, I needed to know more. I needed to know how Sunshine was going to pick herself up after hitting rock bottom. I wanted her to be a better person and see how she ended where she was. Granted it took her longer than I wanted to, but Laura Dave has a way about her characters finding themselves. She breaks her characters down so you can see how the pieces of their lives got them to that breaking point. In the end I felt that not only did I know who the real Sunshine was, but so did the Sunshine in the book. It brings me joy when there is a lesson the character learns that not only helps them look at life differently, but also me as a reader. With the help of Sushine's sister Rain, her daughter Sammy who I absolutely adored, and Ethan the fisherman, Sunshine was able to accept the error of her ways. Thank you Ethan for giving it to Sunshine straight and not sugarcoating your words. He was a breath of fresh air. While most people may hate it, I always love that Laura Dave leaves the ending open for the reader to fantasize and picture their own happy ever after for the main character. 
 I cannot gloat enough about this book. All I can say is please read it. It will bring you A Little Bit of Sunshine.
