Kiss and Tell | Susannah Hardy
If you’re in the mood for a fun rom com, go find yourself a copy of Loving Lizzie March, the debut novel from Sydney writer Susannah Hardy. I know I’m not the only reader relishing the rising tide of Aussie rom-com novels. In this current climate, where many things are out of our control, there’s even more joy to be gained from quirky characters who tangle themselves up in messes of their own creation. Lizzie March reminded me of Bridget Jones, with her madcap adventures, hunt for the perfect match and infuriating yet lovable personality. Hardy does a great job …

Kiss and Tell | Léonie Kelsall

Kiss and Tell | Kelly Rimmer
The Warsaw Orphan A veritable feast of heartbreak and history, The Warsaw Orphan takes readers into the Jewish ghettos in 1940s Poland with a story that amplifies the very best, and the gut-wrenching worst, of human nature. Rimmer brings us two very different characters from opposite sides of town, Elzbieta and Roman, both brave, heroic and determined to save their families. With mounting war casualties, children recruited for corpse collection and boat-loads of innocents sent to their deaths, their efforts to aid the rebellion become even more important and unthinkably dangerous. Beautifully written, and as touching as it was confronting, …
