Sunburn and the Weight of Desire and Repression
Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth invites you into the sweltering world of Crossmore, an Irish Catholic town so quaint it’s almost claustrophobic.

Described by USA Today as “an embrace of a hot-mess pop star aesthetic, prioritising club culture at its core,” Brat Summer is essentially playing with the very relatable idea of ‘fun and dirty’ according to ’80s and ’90s experiences, mixed with Millennials’ and Gen-Z’s ideals in 2024.
