Why did you read this book? I was looking for Australian books again.

Has Jeremy read it? No.

42-word review: At first, I didn’t like this story about a woman caring for a visiting friend who’s dying but won’t admit it, but it’s stuck with me. The characters are prickly and hurtful to each other, but their friendship and reactions are real.

Overall rating:  4 glasses of juice (out of 5)
