Sunshine Mackenzie hit it big with a YouTube cooking show, a bestselling cookbook, and a promising deal with the Food Network. But when she gets hacked, and her secrets are out there for the whole world to see, everything falls apart. What are the consequences of selectively choosing how we portray ourselves and our lives rather than just embracing the plain old, sometimes ugly, often messy truth? We all do it: choose the most flattering selfie, rewrite our social media posts until we have just the right mix of witty and sassy, or brag about the best parts of our weekend (even if it was only 15 minutes) instead of the mind numbing chores that really took up most of our day. Hello Sunshine explores the cost of curating our lives via social media and the many ways we search for what we think our lives are supposed to be.
