Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta

5.0

looking for alibrandi is a gorgeous book. firstly, its protagonist is an authentic australian teen, which is something i struggle to find. secondly, it's wicked funny and fun to read. thirdly, it hurts your soul.

Spoiler

john barton's death made me ugly cry. it's also important to note that when this book was released, teen suicide was something that wasn't really discussed in books, which makes it all the more relevant, but also a completely necessary read.

tldr, in conclusion, i love this book and the movie too.
