In this prequel to PET, readers are transported into a world of art, activism, and self-discovery.
Bitter has finally found a home in the boarding school, Eucalyptus, where gifted art students thrive.
Bitter begins to engage with the activist groups who are fighting against the rash injustice outside the walls of Eucalyptus.
This is a timely book with brilliantly crafted characters.
I do think I would have understood PET better if I had read Bitter first.
