Hello, Sunshine

This book made no sense. There's a huge OMG moment when you find out who did the thing that took down the main character's life, and it makes what you see on TV and movies look normal by comparison. Hard pass on this one, despite having really enjoyed Eight Hundred Grapes.
I have loved all of Laura Dave's books, but I found this to be incredibly lackluster.
How much of what you post on Fakebook...oops, Facebook (!)...is really true? What part of your Twitter feed matches up to your real life?
That's what Laura Dare takes on in this little novel. Sunshine Mackenzie is a world-famous chef from a small Southern town who has zillions of followers...and then, one day, it is revealed through social media that she isn't and suddenly she doesn't.
It's a ride of a novel, with surprisingly nuanced characters, and you don't know where it's going until it goes, and then you don't really know for sure where it went, and I like that.
A wonderful little story, just perfect for my first book of #bookaday.
