Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Soft Serve is an absolutely fantastic portrait of small town Australian life and the way in which people deal with trauma and crisis. Reading this, I was instantly transported back to my own small town facing the crises of bushfires and my own personal struggles. Kemp writes with such clarity and reliability I was completely transfixed with the story, the characters and the emotions that swallowed me whole.
