5 stars
Pretty good, the writing was good, the style YES, the only thing I would change if I was writing it would be the way it shows how Connie thinks, sometimes it seemed a little like she was a lot younger then 12, but I mean it’s not that much bothering but I just wanted to say, I loved it, it’s set in Australia, and 1960’s I’m guessing since their using pound currency which was moved to Australian dollar, anyways, I’m going to write a more detailed review for medium, and maybe update this one later, but I do recommend readers pick it up
