I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! IT DESERVES ALL THE STARS!! 

This is written by Bigambul woman Melanie Saward, and I read it on Kaurna Country. 

 

Rom-com with an Aboriginal, fat, bisexual lead? Yes please! Written by the second ever published Aboriginal rom-com author in Australia? Incredible! The fact this is 80% of Sawards PhD submission? OMG! Be more incredible!!! The friendships in this are beautiful, the way grief and an emotionally abusive relationship were handled - amazing! This book makes ME want to go live out a year in New York and find my New York magic moment and make friends with all the people! This book is heartwarming, hilarious, spicy in all the right parts and just the perfect rom-com! I devoured this book in less than 24 hours because I could not put it down! I could rave about this book for ever. Do yourself a favour - buy it now! 😍😍😍 and then go and get Burn which is totally different but also incredible!
