Publisher's Summary
The truth is not a destination – it's a magical ride.
Addy Loest is harbouring a secret – several, in fact. Dedicated overthinker, frockaholic and hard-partier, she’s been doing all she can to avoid the truth for quite some time.
A working-class girl raised between the Port Kembla Steelworks and the surf of the Illawarra coast, Addy is a fish out of water at the prestigious University of Sydney. She’s also the child of German immigrants, and her broken-hearted widower dad won’t tell her anything about her family’s tragic past.
But it’s 1985, a time of all kinds of excess, from big hair to big misogyny, and distractions are easy. Distractions, indeed, are Addy’s best skill – until one hangover too many leads her to meet a particular frock and a particular man, each of whom will bring all her truths hurtling home.

Overall an enjoyable story.
This story should be classified as Young Adult fiction which wasn’t what I was expecting and isn’t what I’d usually be interested in reading. One section in particular was bogged down with the character’s internal angst which I found a bit tedious. I did however enjoy the overall story, especially in relation to the character’s family history which I would have liked to have seen developed more as the revelations didn’t really go anywhere. I also found the main character likeable so felt invested in her story.
I’ve listened to Her Last Words by the same author and preferred and would recommend that story above/before this one.
Caroline Lee’s narration, as usual, was very enjoyable. I often search on books narrated by Caroline as she is one of my favourite Australian narrators.
