I love Nick Earls.
He is one of my favourite Australian authors.
He writes young adult novels and I adore the way he does it. He writes in a really melancholy, beautiful way. He respects his reader, acknowledges something deeper, and offers up a part of himself when doing so.
He came to my high school and talked about writing this book, and the experiences he had that loosely informed it - and that made me respect him and his craft all the more.
This book was a really quick, easy read for me - plenty of tangible, well-written teenaged angst. The only problem I have now is what novel of his I should read next. c:
