Sunburn
By Chloe Michelle Howarth - Goodreads - 8 January
synopsis:
It's the early 1990s, and in the Irish village of Crossmore, Lucy feels out of place. Despite her fierce friendships, she's always felt this way, and the conventional path of marriage and motherhood doesn't appeal to her at all. Not even with handsome and doting Martin, her closest childhood friend. Lucy begins to make sense of herself during a long hot summer, when a spark with her school friend Susannah escalates to an all-consuming infatuation, and, very quickly, to a desperate and devastating love.
thoughts:
i adored the writing in this and the catholic guilt of it all LDFKJFKGJ i also really liked that even "disgusting" actions that susannah did were provocative to lucy. very devastating and all too real sadness to this book but still, loved the ending and i want to read more by this author because the prose was gorgeous.
