I really don't like giving a bad review but I just couldn't read past page110. I wanted this to be good but the characters are obvious and have all been done before. Writing hints at being good but uses too many overused and boring descriptions and just didn't hold my attention. As an Aussie ex teacher, I wanted to support Aussie author/teacher, but can't. It's not like a Jodi Picoult book, no matter what the enticing cover quote says!
