Ambition Monster

By Jennifer Romolini

5 stars

Jennifer Romolini - brilliant podcaster (Everything is Fine, Extended Scenes, Stiffed), journalist, writer, editor - wrote this memoir of work as a follow up to her fantastic Weird in a World That's Not: A Career Guide for Misfits, F*ckups and Failures). An engaging, honest, soul-searching read, it examines the roots of her workaholism in her working-class childhood. I couldn't put it down!
Quietly Hostile

By Samantha Irby

5 stars

A highly bingeable book of essays by black, gay And Just Like That writer/actor Sam Irby. Very funny, somewhat dirty!
Flight of the Fantail

By Steph Matuku

3 stars

More of 7/10. A gripping piece of speculative fiction about teens lost in the wilds of NZ after a bus crash. Could have done with better editing re structure and style.
Orbiting Jupiter

By Gary D Schmidt

4 stars

A well-written, moving coming-of-age story about teenage pregnancy, rural life and redemption in Maine.

Long Bright River

By Liz Moore

4 stars

Loved Liz Moore's The God of the Woods so suggested this one for our book club. Our group was a bit 'meh' about it, but I finished it today and found it engrossing and well written. re TV adaptation I honestly can't imagine Amanda Seyfried as the lead role - she's not that pretty-perfect!
