I liked it – and them – very much.Ĭharlie Burroughs has a great life. Charlie Sunshine is a mostly light and lovely story about friends (one of whom struggles with epilepsy) who are the last ones to know they’re meant to be.


Morton shoe-horns in a Big Misunderstanding late in the second half, but it’s a half-hearted effort at best. In the second Close Proximity novel, best friends move in together and before long, things take a decidedly naughty turn. Charlie Sunshine is a saccharine-sweet ode to the ever popular friends-to-lovers trope, and it left this Morton fan happy and satisfied. But this is April 2020, I’m spending entirely too much time cooped-up with my husband and two boys, and Lily Morton’s brand of sunshine is just what the doctor ordered. Maybe at a different time in my life, my slightly cynical self might have given Charlie Sunshine the side eye.
