I enjoyed this much more than Gracey. After Angela and Gracey graduate, they both find themselves at university in Brisbane. While Angela loves the uni lifestyle and finds herself falling in love with the sporty and lovely Jarred, Gracey battles to find her place, moving in with a group of Aboriginal students, struggling for money and attending rallies and public meetings. As Gracey becomes more aware of her aboriginality, this becomes a wedge between she and Angela, who cannot understand why it matters. Intertwined with stories of the stolen generation, this is very powerful and challenged how I see things too.

Book has no plot and is exceedingly annoying and boring. Not to recommend.

James Moloney continues to wreck me with yet another fluid and distressing work.

Read this with various ESL groups for their finals preparation. It's a nice and easy read, appropriate more for a middle grade audience rather than an A-Level one. It's still a vividly written novel that easily sparks conversation and gets people thinking and talking about such issues as minority stress, reconciliation, and racism.
