Sunbathing in a Body Cast is an autobiographical journey through the quirky, frenetic mind of Rebecca Rine-Stone. While weaving memories with present life, Rine-Stone creates essays that are self-deprecatingly humorous yet always deeply personal and honest. She delves into and magnifies reflections on everyday life as well as more serious topics such as sickness and mortality and she tackles such obstacles without self-pity, but rather with outward optimism, hope and sassy sarcasm. Subjects range from going through the Dairy Queen drive-thru in a body cast in the back of a station wagon to her ongoing aversion to growing up. Having come to no solid conclusions about life except that we’re all in this mess together, Rine-Stone proves it’s easier and better to be nothing more than yourself and nothing less than yourself.

A great read from start to finish.,

This review is from: Sunbathing in a Body Cast: True Stories (Paperback)
I really loved this book, it was an excellent read. The stories were really well written and to the point, full of emotion, character, and a genuineness that can be felt from beginning to end. It made me cry hard, and laugh out loud, relating every story to my own life experiences. It really made me feel how we're all in it together, and need to enjoy each other more. I don't know if that's what was meant by the author, but that's what I got. And I loved every page of it.

These stories made me laugh and cry. Rebecca's writing is honest and witty. It tugs at the heart strings and makes you reflect on your own experiences. She brings you to those deep places, but then snaps you back with her quirky and hilarious sense of humor. I would recommend it to anyone!!!
