Description

From award-winning Wiradyuri author, Anita Heiss, comes a fun, light-hearted and empowering story featuring a deadly Koori heroine who is forced to choose between her dream job and the man of her dreams.

Lauren is a curator at the National Aboriginal Gallery in Canberra. She's good at her job, passionate about the arts, and focused on her work – that is, when she's not focusing on Adam, halfback for the Canberra Cockatoos.

But Adam is a player, both on and off the field. Lauren knows he's the one, but he doesn't seem to feel the same way about her. If she just waits long enough, though, surely he'll realise how much he needs her?

Then her boss offers her the chance of a lifetime – a fellowship at the Smithsonian in New York. Lauren has to make some big decisions: the man or Manhattan?

What a great romance full of best friends, experiences in a new country, and great men...along with one not-so-great man. Lauren is offered an opportunity to leave Canberra for a 12-month fellowship in Manhattan. Who wouldn't love that? It really spoke to me as I was sent by my DC company to work in our Perth, AU office for several months. Like Lauren, I wasn't sure I wanted to go and basically went due to peer pressure and the thought of people mocking me for the rest of my life if I didn't pursue this. Lauren had similar, but completely reverse, experiences as I did regarding the size of coffee cups and populations, among other things. I had such a smile on my face as she acclimated. The work she does as a curator was fascinating to read about and although she was frustrating me in the "relationship" department for far too long, there's a very romantic and happy ending for her.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.
