A honest and empathetic exploration of teenage pregnancy, challenging familial relationships and the tensions of growing up with a mixed ethnic/cultural background against the backdrop of ninties Australia. Equal parts nostalgic, cruel and uplifting.

such a well written, and raw story about a mother and daughter relationship. Alice Pung is a great writer and i’ll be for sure reading more from her.
