Sunburn by Andi Watson
3.0
‘Sunburn’ by Andi Watson with illustrations by Simon Gane is a graphic novel about a young girl coming of age on an exotic vacation.
Rachel lives a bland life with her parents with the same summer camping holiday looming. When family friends invite her to spend the summer in Greece, she reluctantly agrees. The friends have no children and attend parties most nights. Rachel learns to drink, meets a boy, and learns some hard lessons about life along the way.
This book has a creepy undercurrent from the start. I wasn’t sure where it was going to go, and fortunately I was wrong. It definitely has an unsettling quality to it and I have no idea what kind of parents would send a daughter off with another couple for a whole summer. The art is good, but had some odd disjointed qualities at times.
