I’m speechless. I’m crying. I’m so happy this book exists. It is so so beautifully poetic (I feel like I highlighted half of this book) and absolutely heartbreaking. It has healed parts of my younger closeted self because it put into words what I was never able to. I’ll be thinking about and referring to Sunburn for a long time.

However it was too much of a slow burn for me and the last third was a bit of a slog to finish. I completely understand the positive reviews though and wish I enjoyed it more
