Book Review: A twist on British chic-lit
Summary: 4 Stars
I had inundated myself with reading several British chic-lit books in a short time and I was ready for something slightly different. BAGGAGE offered me the British chic-lit style but with a new backdrop - the Australian outback.
Lina is married teacher with a 10-year old adopted son and a baby on the way. When a vacationer from England happens upon this small Australian town in the hot outback, Lina's relatively normal life takes on quite a twist. Sex, lies, drugs, and scandal all make their way into this story, just to name a few.
Although this story came across as predictible, it kept me interested until nearly the end at which point I feel the story slowed. However, I do think it's quite worth the read. Emily Barr creates an excellent depiction of scandal in a small town, and makes her characters believable.
The past can always come back to haunt you...
