Today begins a regular weekly feature of book reviews from area libraries.

With the cold winter upon us, it would appear that some lighthearted, fun reads are in demand. One such novel is “Hello, Sunshine” by Laura Dave.”

Dave is the internationally best-selling author of “Eight Hundred Grapes,” “The First Husband,” “The Divorce Party” and “London is the Best City in America.” Three of her previous titles have been optioned for major motion pictures.

“Hello, Sunshine,” Dave’s 2017 release, is a thought-provoking but quick, light read and can easily be devoured in one sitting.

It’s great for relaxing in front of the fireplace, sipping hot tea while watching the snowfall outside the window.

Sunshine MacKenzie is an Internet sensation. She has her own YouTube cooking show with millions of followers, her own line of cookbooks and an amazing husband.

She has it all, until a hater hacks her Twitter account and reveals to her 2.7 million followers that she is a fraud!

Not everything you read on the Internet is true, and this story plays right into that belief.

Having lost everything when the truth is revealed, MacKenzie is forced to return to her childhood home and her estranged sister in an attempt to rebuild her life.

In the age of social media, this story will make you wonder if all the celebrities are telling the truth about themselves.

What percentage of information on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram is actually true?

In the end, owning up to mistakes made publicly or privately is the only way to rise up and move on.

“Hello, Sunshine” is one of those novels that will warm your heart during the colder months of winter.
