Helen Garner, bestselling and award winning author of The First Stone and The Spare Roomone of the best novels I have read this year . its clever, pacy and wonderfully thoughtful. Read it! Zara McDonald,Shameless PodcastSex. Power. Consent.Whenever I say I was at university with Eve, people ask me what she was like, sceptical perhaps that she could have always been as whole and self-assured as she now appears. To which I say something like: People are infinitely complex. But I say it in such a wayso pregnant with misanthropythat its obvious I hate her. Michaela and Eve are two bright, bold women who befriend each other their first year at a residential college at university, where they live in adjacent rooms. They could not be more different; one assured and popular the other uncertain and eager-to-please. But something happens one night in O-week a drunken encounter, a foggy memory that will force them to confront the realities of consent and wrestle with the dynamics of power. Initially bonded by their wit and sharp eye for the colleges mix of material wealth and moral poverty, Michaela and Eve soon discover how fragile friendship is, and how capable of betrayal they both are.Written with a strikingly contemporary voice that is both wickedly clever and incisive, issues of consent, class and institutional privilege, and feminism become provocations for enduring philosophical questions we face today.

Like Elena and Lila in Elena Ferrantes My Brilliant Friend, a touchstone for Reid, their spark feels charged, given to exploding.
