SUMMARY:Lesbi Friends Queer Book Club: Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth
DESCRIPTION:Come hang out with us this month! We’re reading Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth. \nQuestions? Feel free to send us a DM on Instagram😊🌈 \nWednesday\, April 8th at 7pm\nThe Soft Spot — 5407 Penn Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15206 \nAbout the Book\nIt’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.  \nLucy 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.  \nFearful of rejection from her small and conservative community\, Lucy begins living a double life\, hiding the most honest parts of herself in stolen moments with Susannah. But with the end of school and the opportunity to leave Crossmore looming\, Lucy must choose between two places\, two people\, and two futures\, each as terrifying as the other. Neither will be easy\, but only one will offer her happiness.
