So brilliant. I could feel the dirt in my ears. It really does have a remarkable sense of place; Jane Harper is spot on. It couldn’t be anywhere else. The twisties, tiny teddies and dunkaroos, the ice cream tub and tracing shames..it couldn’t have been any one else’s story, Ronnie and Esther are year six

I got to read an uncorrected proof and I’m so grateful to Allen and Unwin for the experience. Loved the 80s nostalgia and all the good eating x I loved the opportunity to get inside the head of a privileged, rich white completely flawed Carrie. Loved the exploration of family expectations, sibling rivalry and gosh
w This was my second time around with the liars and I loved it all the more. That twist! That Cadence! So well done, Such a strong sense of place and people x I see criticism of the style, but it’s from the perspective of a broken girl..I love it
