Maria Petranelli is Prepared for anything (except this)
This is a fast-paced, easy to read queer coming of age YA story. With a relatable protagonist and themes of control vs chaos, this heartfelt story skilfully balances humour with emotional growth and character development. Particularly enjoyed the Italian Australian family connections with all the accompanying expectations and embracing the unexpected.
The In-Between
In true Tsiolkas literary form, this book is an entertaining (sometimes raunchy), easy read. When two men, who have both suffered incredible heartbreak from their previous relationships, disclose their loneliness to each other, a modern love story evolves. Tsiolkas explores the complexities of the heart and what we hide from ourselves and others. A great exploration of relationships, friendships, connections and emotions.
