Anna is pushed at school to “realise her potential“, because she's Asian-Australian. She just wants to work in her Dad's Chinese restaurant, and hang out with the new Macbeth-quoting delivery boy. Her life is complicated by her sibling caring responsibilities - their mother has taken to her bed, again, & her Dad has withdrawn and is sleeping at the restaurant.

[Content notes for involuntary psych admission, suicide backstory, harm to an animal.]

Lauredhel #getbooked prompt: book nominated for an award in 2020 - the Indie Book Awards https://www.indiebookawards.com.au/ These awards recognise the best Australian writing as chosen by Australian Independent Booksellers. Check them out.

Freespirit It sounds great! 5y
Lauredhel @Freespirit It is REALLY great! One thing I love about YA is that I can start a novel knowing it deals with some really difficult/grim topics, and it will almost always finish with notes of hope. Can't always rely on that with “adult“ “Literature“....

This is super well written, too. An author to watch.

Another #getbooked recommendation that I really liked. Beautiful writing, fascinating stories. I love reading about artistic endeavors. Dessa is a deep thinker, hard worker, and humble but confident artist. I really liked this!

vivastory I love Dessa & Doomtree 5y

This morning‘s #audiowalk listening to #getbooked podcast and blowing up my TBR some more.

This is my favourite street to walk along, its cliff top and the views are gorgeous. That‘s Rangitoto Island there, the landmark that means I‘m home 😍

Tagged book is the one I‘ve just started - looks good so far 👍

I don‘t know why I keep trying these more erotic books; I know they aren‘t my thing. The ladies on get booked just sell them so well! There was lots of character stuff going on, not just sex, but still not my thing.

This not your father‘s Sherlock Holmes. A Study in Scarlet Women is a feminist reimagining of Arthur Conan Doyle‘s unforgettable characters.

TheKidUpstairs This one was such a pleasant surprise! I really enjoyed it. 7y
VanChocStrawberry They‘ve recommended this several times on the @bookriot podcast #getbooked. I don‘t usually gravitate to historical fiction, but I‘m adding this to my TBR. 7y
suvata @VanChocStrawberry It is very entertaining. 7y
