In the 20th century the modernists said "you don't need a plot" and in 2001 Tegan Bennett said "what's plot?". This book was fine I guess. The writing wasn't bad. It was just pretty boring. Nothing happened and it wasn't clever or satirical to make up for this deficit. I don't know. Read it if you want.

A narrative about 2 friends, living in coastal New South Wales whose lives take different paths over the years... one is married with children and falls in, out, and in love again with hubby, and her friend is unsure of who she is in life, envying her friend's life and insecure in her own. And that's it.
