We need more Indigenous love stories. Firstly, I'm so surprised this book doesn't have a higher rating. It was beautifully written, especially the parts about Wiradjuri lore, Dreamtime and being on Country. The writing was simple but powerful and the descriptions of love were at times a lot, but they perfectly captured the all-consuming love young people find themselves in. I wasn't expecting such a beautiful love story and bawled my eyes out towards the end. Loved the descriptions of Sydney in the 90s too. Congrats Ms Weldon on such a fantastic book!
