this book was incredibly funny but also shocking and really pulled no punches when examining being indigenous and racism and colonisation. i found the quips and banter between characters to be engaging and was really hypnotized by the audiobook narrator’s portrayal of the characters, especially pretty mary. i think the strength of the dialogue and the pointed insights embedded in the prose helped to make the darker and more heartbreaking elements sit properly, and i came away from this book with a lot to think about.

Don't quite know how to rate this, so it may change the more I think about it (as in go higher!).
I'm so glad I'm studying this for my English course as there's so much in there to unpack and explore.
