The Hard Truth About Sunshine
The Hard Truth About Sunshine | Sawyer Bennett
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett has written her most gripping and poignant tale yet. Provocatively heart-breaking, audaciously irreverent and romantically fulfilling, The Hard Truth About Sunshine exposes just how very thin the line is between a full life and an empty existence. Despite having narrowly escaped death's clutches, Christopher Barlow is grateful for nothing. His capacity to love has been crushed. He hates everyone and everything, completely unable to see past the gray stain of misery that coats his perception of the world. It's only after he involuntarily joins a band of depressed misfits who are struggling to overcome their own problems, does Christopher start to re-evaluate his lot in life. What could they possibly learn from one another? How could they possibly help each other to heal? And the question that Christopher asks himself over and over again... can he learn to love again? He's about to find out as he embarks upon a cross country trip with a beautiful woman who is going blind, a boy with terminal cancer, and an abuse victim who can't decide whether she wants to live or die. Four people with nothing in common but their destination. They will encounter adventure, thrills, loss and love. And within their travels they will learn the greatest lesson of all. The hard truth about sunshine... Warning: This book deals with some tough issues including suicide and sexual abuse.

Current progress for my #Roll100 lists for this year. I‘m hoping to completely clear both lists, so I‘ve been pulling from it to finish challenges whenever possible. ☺️ @PuddleJumper

Mehso-so

Follows four characters: A war veteran, a kid with cancer, a girl going blind and another girl suffering from depression. They take a road trip to Oregon and learn new things about themselves and each other.

This could have been a great book but I really disliked how the author would strike-through a sentence and put another one in. I think she was going for a sarcastic manner but could have been done with her writing.

Does anyone else find this annoying when an author does this continuously in a book?

I find it ruins my flow of reading and takes slit of the story.

BillBlume Is that a strikethrough used in a book? I've not seen that done in a novel. I'm not a fan of that, even in articles (which is the only place I've seen it used). Too often it seems like it's the cleverness equivalent of--ahem--compensating. 8y
That-Bookish-Hiker @BillBlume yeah it's a strikethrough and it isn't even the first one in this book. I think the author is trying to show the character is being sarcastic but I think she could have chosen to do that with her words instead of using the strikethrough. 8y
MyNamesParadise Seems tacky, juvenile, and pathetic to me. Like you've gotten a book published and you're going to waste people's time with strikethroughs? Clearly I'm in a great mood today 😜 8y
That-Bookish-Hiker @MyNamesParadise lol no I agree with you completely. It's as bad as when authors put hashtags in their story. Hashtags belong on social media and nowhere else! 8y
MyNamesParadise @That-Bookish-Hiker agreed!! 8y
