Her Fidelity by Katharine Pollock

3.0

This book had me at Empire Records, IYKYK.

Kathy has worked at Dusty’s Records for half her life. She started as a teenager after finding her fathers love for Led Zeppelin. Her high school job turned into her twenty’s and then suddenly her thirty’s are on her horizon and she’s stuck in a rut, measuring her self worth.

Kathy’s safe little circle has started to show its cracks. Her ride or die friend are growing up and moving on and Kathy’s feet are stuck in the same cycle of work, pub and repeat with some self loathing and terrible choices in men.

A story about learning to fly when you’re not ready too, taking the jump not knowing how you’ll land but knowing the people around you will catch you if you fall or help mend the broken.

The song references are 10/10, it gives you 2022 Empire Records vibes. It’s hilarious and relatable and a great Aussie read. It’s in stores August 16th, if you loved Empire Records this one’s for you.
