Synopsis: A novella inspired from a life lived; almost lost, & lived again.In The Sun is written in a stream of consciousness past present narrative. Phoebe finds out she has a terminal diagnosis then contemplates suicide whilst revisiting her life. Dark and Funny, it is the author's self proclaimed "Catcher In The Rye" meets "High Fidelity"

Review: I thought that this book was beautiful with the prose and that the writing was compelling. The character was compelling and the way that the author describes the story is interesting.

However, I do feel like that the book is confusing. You’re constantly in between different time spaces and it’s hard to keep it all straight.

Verdict: It was a good book if you’re a poetic soul.
