But as the end of school approached and the opportunity to leave Crossmore loomed, Lucy knew that she had to make a choice. She had to decide between two places, two people, and two futures, each as terrifying as the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunburn is a poignant and insightful portrayal of first love, adolescent anxiety, and the challenges of growing up in a small town where tradition holds people tightly in its grasp.
