Sunny Beringer hates her first nameâher real first nameâSunflower. And she hates that her mom has suddenly left behind her dad and uprooted their family miles away from New Jersey to North Carolina just so she can pursue some fancy degree. Sunny has to live with a grandmother she barely knows, and sheâs had to leave her beloved cat and all her friends behind. And no one else seems to think anything is wrong.
So she creates âSunny Beringerâs Totally Awesome Plan for Romanceââa list of sure-fire ways to make her parents fall madly in love again, including:
Send Mom flowers from a âSecret Admirerâ to make her dad jealous and make him regret letting them move so far away.
Make a playlist of his favorite love songsâthe mushier the betterâand make sure itâs always playing in the car.
Ask them about the good old days when they first fell in love.
But while working on a photo album guaranteed to make Mom change her mind and rush them right back home, Sunny discovers a photoâone that changes everything.
Sunnyâs family, the people she thought she could trust most in the world, have been keeping an enormous secret from her. And sheâll have to reconcile her familyâs past and present, or sheâll lose everything about their future.
