a beautifully drawn exploration of familiar and loving relationships whilst coming of age. this was a great palate cleanser and would be a perfect beach read, i did want a little more weight to this novel however.

this was cute - loved all the sydney references esp Grapes on the Roof!
i really enjoyed the middle section when we got to know Eleanor and Charlie and Helen but it went a bit downhill for me when all the drama started. The ending was ok. Keen to read Love and Virtue now

I desperately wanted to love this book as much as I loved Love and Virtue but I just didn’t. The characters felt pretentious. The plot was gripping but the characters and writing made it hard for me to love.
