A beautiful Australian story of young love and loss. A town full of secrets that it buries to show a front of perfection and beauty, but one that cracks easily until it’s all in the open. Silvey does a wonderful job of putting coming of age and comprehending the harsh reality of the world into words.

Had to read this for English. Felt like plot could be condensed in 250 pages or less. I do like the mystery element to it but this books gives me white saviour complex.

 I read this 3-4 years ago and I really wanted to re-read it. It is definitely on my list of favourite books. I would give it 5 stars for the writing style alone, it's definitely not for everyone, but I really vibe with it. I had to knock the rating down a bit solely for the pages of cricket description because, despite being Australian, I have no clue how cricket works and it only ever seems boring.
