An easy read without feeling simplistic, made it hard for me to ever want to put it down. Maybe it's because I'm also Australian, but the characters and setting felt so realistic. I found the flashback chapters a bit harder to stay engaged with - a few of them felt like they were there just for the sake of it and not to tell us more about the characters. But all in all I loved this book and have been trying to recommend it to everyone.

2 stars,
I usually love reading books about racism and such but this one was a flop. The main character is a white girl named Rosie who acts like such a brat and even though Nona is mentioned in the title, she is barely in there.
If you want to read a book about racism, I recommend either [b:To Kill a Mockingbird|2657|To Kill a Mockingbird|Harper Lee|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1553383690l/2657._SY75_.jpg|3275794] or [b:The Hate U Give|32075671|The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give, #1)|Angie Thomas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1476284759l/32075671._SY75_.jpg|49638190]
