'contemplative and hopeful' Good Reading 'It's a clever novel which somehow manages to avoid being overly emotional despite the premise. This said, the story did make me laugh and cry, and reminded me of people I know.' Readings online 'I just couldn't put it down. I was engrossed immediately and tearing up by page two; it felt so real. This is a moving portrayal of the power of love and of friendship and it's wonderful.'

OddFeather 'A pleasure to read about the life of someone special to those who loved her.' Australian Women's Weekly 'It is filled with lilting language and a pulsing beat.' Avid Reader Blog
