Honestly, I think there's nothing better than a quietly told story that makes a big impact on the reader - and this sounds like just the book to do that for me.

I think because the writing is so captivating to me, it helps that I don't get hung up on certain words. There's just this solid flow for me. Hard to describe, but I truly enjoy it.Ginger @ GReads!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17725314423163879042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-37070348809209275192013-02-27T08:40:19.136-06:002013-02-27T08:40:19.136-06:00Buzo is my new crush and now I feel sad I've r...Buzo is my new crush and now I feel sad I've read all there is to read. I prefer Love and Other Perishable Items, but this is great too. So nice to find a "New Adult" novel that feels REAL in comparison to the over-the-top drama of other YA.<br /><br />Are there any difficulties for you when you read Australian English?<br />I love Aussie writers too but in the past I've always waited for the American editions and at first it felt a bit strange to read "Australian". I think that's the reason, more than the story itself, why it took some time for me to fully grasp things. Not so much the slang and abbreviations like "thongs" or "ambo", but something harder to define. I'm not a native English speaker so I'm curious how/if you (who are) think of the difference.
