Beautiful book with floaty and floral writing. Very relaxed, with cozy and intimate details. It was too slow and calm for me personally- although I loved it, I really struggled to get through it because it wasn't gripping. It gave me a new perspective on age and ethnicity, especially since Australia is close in proximity and culture to NZ.
