pickApologies in advance but I'm trying to catch up on all my read books. There may be a few posts today. This one was beautifully described. I could really see the windswept, isolated landscape. I enjoyed the story but lost patience a small number of times with the main character. A good read.
I could hang here, could you?

pickThis is a beautiful debut novel about friendship and love, that very first obsessive ‘best friend‘ love - Kate and Harriet are growing up on an isolated Australian cape in 1880s. They‘re right on the cusp of adulthood when McPhail arrives in their small community. We see through Kate‘s eyes the growing attraction between Harriet & McPhail. I think the author captured that atmosphere of friendship so well.
so-soI enjoyed this book for the most part & was ready to give it a thumbs up, until I got to the end. Skylarking is well written and though you may or may not like the main characters, they are relatable, in spite of the time period. I loved this book & truly wish the ending was different as there was a nice flow to the book, but then the author seemed to rush through the conclusion. I'd be interested to know what others thought of it.
so-soPretty average read unfortunately. The writing was good but i didn't feel any connection to characters at all.
