feeling really conflicted about this rating because while i can recognise this book's value, both in its message and the justification for its everywhen structure - hell it was one i decided i had to make mine and highlight all over - but it fell apart (or came undone?) in section 3 when instead of fixing up loose ends it just started making more of them

things i wanted to see more of: examining australian historiography, ernest scott's "intrusions". things i wanted to see less of: the soppy romance with dylan if it was going to have no conclusion

You’ve tried to make yourself small. But you’re not a star. You’re a galaxy. This place isn’t enough for you. Maybe one day, when one season ends and another begins, you’ll land here, and it’ll be enough. But until then, darlin’, your belonging to in many places

The book is such a lovely reflection on love, loss, memory and identity. It’s written so beautifully and so relevant in our current world state. It was a little hard to get into and it isn’t your traditional linear narrative, but overall so beautiful
