About this listen

A year ago the house had been full of life, of noise, of love. Now there were long stretches of silence that settled between them like a fog so dense it made it hard to see a way out, made it hard for them to see each other... He was losing sight of the only thing he'd ever truly been certain about.

Some moments change everything. For five friends, what should have been a birthday to remember will instead cleave a line between before and after. From then on, the shockwaves of guilt, sorrow and disbelief will colour every day, every interaction, every possibility. Each will struggle. Each will ask why. Secrets will be kept. Lies will be told. Relationships reassessed. Each friend will be forever changed. And the question all of them will be forced to ask is: can they ever find a way to live without what was lost?

A raw, powerful novel from the prize-winning author of Kokomo that exposes the ripple effect of grief. With profound insight and a tender heart, Marshmallow shows how quickly the life you thought you had can be shattered forever.

Really great listen

A well crafted story, full of ups and downs that all came together in a satisfyingly neat way at the end. Very much enjoyed the journey. Thanks Victoria :)

real and human.

was so real in writing. as someone from Melbourne, it was as if the characters were my friends. which made the read so much more melancholy.

a quilt of grief

Really enjoyed this listen. Quintessential Australian vibes. Thought the plot was missing something, but a great depiction of grief.

Not my cup of tea

I found this book didn’t live up to the hype. I just couldn’t get into the characters and overall, the story seemed to lack something.
