I thought this book was absolutely brilliant. It made me laugh and cry. The feeling of being lost after school (and any point in your life) is something everyone is familiar with and stories of this nature never go astray. I would easily compare it to Radio Silence (an all time fave of mine) but it has the Aussie spirit of Schoolies and summer. My heart was totally with the girls as they struggled through the week. I loved the way the book was told through the 7 days and it goes to show how much can happen so quickly. So many moments made me laugh out loud because despite getting older the anxiety, excitement, concern and anticipation that comes with change and life disruption never goes away. I love when I can relate so truly to a young adult book; oddly it means more to me now than it would have when I was younger. Can’t Say was so well written, so fun, so heartwarming. I highly recommend this for a fun weekend read (especially if you are an Alice Oseman fan). Can’t wait for more Gabrielle Tozer!
