Not the type of novel I normally read. Seems pretty good at what it's aiming for. Perhaps I was expecting to find a book about a young professional woman in Melbourne a bit more "relatable" or whatever but romance drama just isn't my thing and no amount of strong, witty prose could overcome that. Excellent dialogue and the whole story flowed naturally so even though I wasn't really into it, still couldn't put it down. Refreshing to read an Australian book which is unapologetically set here without being self-conscious about it. A lightly funny, reflective drama about people a bit too normal for me to truly invest in.
Graphic: Sexual violence
Moderate: Death
Minor: Alcoholism and Death of parent
