Sunbathing
by Isobel Beech
Review by Rosa
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Sunbathing made me feel hollow and full at the same time and made my heart ache with sadness and love and want. It was one of those books that reminded me that my place in the world is only a tiny snapshot in the grand scheme of things, which made me appreciate what I have even more, but also excited for the people and places I will eventually meet. It was lyrical and beautiful, so sensitively written, and confronted necessary topics including the complications of grief and guilt, hope and healing, mental health, and performative activism. Isobel Beech, you have a wonderful mind and please, please, please write more.
