Everything Under the Sun
It's 1994, and the music is amazing and the party scene is bumping. Sunny has a past that hasn't been so bright, but with an apartment and college his grandfather is paying for and a small pill habit, he's starting to move on from his LA playboy days.
When Sunny sees Mia, a model with habits of her own, from the stage where he's playing with his band, she takes his breath away.
Their connection is real, and after one amazing night together before she leaves for Milan, the plus sign on the pregnancy test is not what either of them are prepared for.

*Disclosure, I did receive a free ARC to review. But I bought it anyway :)
I have been a Mercedes fan since “Chasing Stars”. Her latest book “Everything Under the Sun”, takes me back to my teenage years in the 90s and the how devastation the loss of Kirk Cobain shook my generation. The other throw backs to the 90s, like PJ Harvey, made me all nostalgic. I enjoyed some of the one-liners like, “He better not have gotten the last of my fucking Apple Jacks.” I can practically smell the Apple Jacks and remember how we all lived off of really sugary cereal and fought for the last bowl.
One of the best parts, to me, of the book was the depiction of a detox. I could feel the sweats and the nausea. Mercedes did an excellent job in that. Spot on. Be warned. The depictions of being high, getting high, could have been more detailed and in-depth. However, I was absolutely get the feeling of the character’s high and struggle with addiction.
I also appreciate the shout out to the HIV epidemic of the 90s, and some of the difficult situations that came with it. I know that the character who had AIDS, was a side character, so he wasn’t a big part of the story and I would have liked to get to know him a bit more.
I liked Sunny, the main character, I can see his inner battle with how he was living his life, vs how he wants to live his life. I didn’t connect well with the love interest, Jiji. Perhaps because she is not someone I would want to be around. I could see 90s me not liking her at all. I liked her friend Max more, she was more friendly and personable. And I can totally picture Storm and loath him. He deserved to be punched in the groin, and not just for eating all of the Apple Jacks.
