I got drawn into the characters and story, highly evocative of a particular time and life stage. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would initially. Still don't know what the pages in italics meant, other than to make it clear that the next chapter was about a different character?

It took me a while to get into this book, it was hovering around 1-2 starts for the first third of the book mainly because I didn't really 'get it.' This is a book about Millenials in Sydney, and i am right at the other end of the age spectrum so couldn't relate. Once I realised how it was unfolding, and got to know the motivation of the various characters in the book, it started to make more sense and I became fully invested (well almost). The writing style took a bit of getting used to, I was not familiar with this author beforehand and picked ths book after seeing it reviewed
