A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
4.0

The first 2/3 of this book was completely amazing. Jean is one badass lady, and I want to be as adaptive and gritty and hardworking as she is.

The last third was a little more boring for me. Once she gets to the outback the story starts slowing down. I really love the journey Jean's character takes throughout the book, though, and her achievement in getting the town to flourish. Seriously, one of THE coolest and strongest characters I've ever read. Loved her.
