Yours Truly by Michaela McGuire, Marieke Hardy
3.0
Some of the letters were brilliant, hilarious, heart-warming, and wonderful examples of the art of letter-writing. Some of the others were self-serving/full of in-jokes/boring. Like any collection of writing from a number of different people, quality does vary. Nonetheless, the highlights make it worthwhile (and by the end, I was giving myself permission to skip through the boring ones - after all, almost 500 pages of letters is a lot to take in).
My favourites:
Clairy Browne's letter to her arse (Theme: To that thing on my body) was empowering and inspirational.
Alexandra Shepisi's letter to time (Theme: To that thing I yearn for) was just right.
Georgia Fields' letter to 3 year old Isobel (Theme: To the person who told me the truth) was hilarious representation of the wonderful world of children.
Hamish Blake & Zoe Foster Blake's letters to each other (Theme: to my other half) was an funny exception in a sea of boring, saccharine love letters.
