If someone ever asks me what it’s like living on a uni campus in Australia I will give them this book and tell them to make a decision based on that. Whether they see the fun and light of the party culture or the dark and unethical parts of it is up to them. This book hit so so close to home and I was absorbed by the story

Do you like reading complex, intimate, witty, intelligent stories about consent and power and morality and the cultures of the colleges at The University of Sydney? Read this regardless of your answer.
It's also surreal to read about usyd, but about MY usyd, and about where in feminist space-time the campus was when I was there. Also wild to read a book set in the suburb I live in.
I really need to emphasise just how nuanced and precise and cutting and bright this book is, though. An absolute must read, 10/10 for me.
