Thank you to Walker Books Australia for the review copy!

This looks like an interesting exploration of a tumultuous time in Australian history, though one which needs to be told.

Endless Love was overall enjoyable, albeit predictable. Even so, a sweet love story where rich girl and boy-with-rough-past meet and overcome challenges along the way. Sounds cliche? Definitely. Yet, when you know there will be a happy ending, sometimes this is what you need.

In other news, it's three assessments down and four to go! I'm getting there and it'll sure be nice to have a break (well sort of since even then there will still be work to do) in a few weeks.

How has your week been?
