this is genuinely the worst book i have ever read. first of all, cameron (a side character in the book) just solves all of jamie's (the protagonist) problems which is not good story telling at all. second, just because its set in australia doesn't mean it's a good book. the author does not understand this. it also is so poorly written it makes me want to tear my eyes out. every single piece of what the author thinks is symbolism is so on the nose it makes me cringe every time. i absolutely hate this book. if you have a copy, burn it. i've never read anything worse than this garbage.
