Sunny is finally getting a new heart and is more than ready to start having a life again. She has a plan for Sunny 2.0 – new life, new best friend and first kiss. That can be tough though, living on an island where everyone knows everyone else. Along comes Quinn, who comes to the island with her mother for the summer. Sunny suddenly has a new best friend, and together they can find boys to kiss. Funny thing is though, Sunny is no longer sure she wants to kiss a boy. Add in the complication of her ex-best friend, and her absent mother showing up and suddenly Sunny has more than she can handle. A powerful and moving story about first loves and creating your own destiny.(Mary Beth Kurspahić, Risdon Middle School,  Evergreen Teen Book Award, 2022)
