Excellent!
“Tell me the story of how the sun loved the moon so much she died every night just so he could breathe.” - Anonymous
I'm balling. I started this book with tears and here we are. This was a beautiful young adult story. It warns of young love and the tumultuous relationships between teens and parents. It questions whether you can truly find love and sustain as a child.
Sunny and Elias were sweet kids who met while Elias was being fostered by her parents. They grew close and then we're separated when Elias went to live with his drug addicted Aunt. The two never forgot one another and kept in sparse contact threw out the years. Upon Elias's return, Sunny's father, who once thought the world of Elias, now deemed him "not good enough" for her. This puts weight on Elias because he already felt that way.
There's a lot of back and forth, hate and love and there are certainly no shortage on tragedy. The story is engulfing, romantic, sad, and mournful. The question, does love survive all things?

"“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about you and me, and God, Sunny, there are eight-hundred reasons why I’m not good enough for you. But there’s one really good reason why I am. I’ve spent over half of my life in love with you, and I know without a shadow of doubt, no matter what happens, I’ll spend the rest of it loving you.”"
