Sunburn
By Chloe Michelle Howarth
5/5⭐️

Set from 1989 to 1995, this novel follows Lucy, a teenage girl. We watch her fall in love with her friend Susannah, while her close friend Martin falls for her. Lucy has to choose between doing what's expected of her, or getting what she wants but losing her family, friends, everything she grew up with, in the process.

The first thing that I loved about this book is that it was set in Ireland. Although Lucy was born in the mid 1970s, while I was born in 2008, rural Irish society hasn't changed much. 
Lucy was a very well-developed protagonist, and every character seemed incredibly realistic. The book had a clear voice, which I appreciated.

Sunburn very easy to read, and quite a short novel. I highly recommend it.
