aight y'all need to leave this book alone

best book in existence

my sister and i used to listen to this audiobook on repeat. to this day we can still recite every word.

it's got it all: complicated family dynamics, friendships that last the ages, the simp, the fool, and the Pharaoh, humour out the wazoo, ancient egypt steeped with aussie culture, and reunited lovers.

i fucking dare you to read this masterpiece and come away hating it. fight me.
