This book got me back into reading after a five (ish) year hiatus!! Seriously amazing. I finished it in two days and could not put it down. It’s set in Melbourne and there’s a few references to places here so if you’re a Melbournian definitely recommend!! Usually in books that alternate chapters’ content (as in one chapter is about one character/time, the next is another and then repeat) I always end up preferring one narrative more than the other, but in this book I was equally invested in both which was nice.
