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.

Many of those who will read Love & Virtue may find it is a feminist story, others may find it a story on ethics, morals, others may read L&V and look back on their 1st year of uni with fondness.
I found this a very easy book to read, parts of it were predictable and cliche. Unfortunately, I found L&V a story of shallow, insecure, selfish, immature entitled characters, who seemed to have never transitioned from high school into the more serious decision-making person you become in uni.
While the storyline is going on, you do start to think what is ethical, right, wrong, and when is it time to stand up and say something, especially as a female. I do applaud the book as it tackles a confronting theme, and that it creates multiple discussion points for men, women, adults and young adults alike.
