A review by bookstorian
Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler
5.0
Captivated cover and enticed by the reviews I was glad to find a copy of this read earlier in the year. After booking a ticket to the city of Adelaide I thought it would be fun to read this book on this trip.
When I initially picked up the read I was a bit worried that I hadn't picked the best holiday read, the book opens with suicide attempt. However, there was something so stunning about the story telling and harrowing about the character of Adelaide. I honestly found myself so engrossed in the novel every time I picked it up.
Overall, I felt that Adelaide as a character was so vivid and realistic and her journey with mental health and the trauma experienced within relationships to be well fleshed out and raw.
I do recommend checking out the trigger warnings for this book before picking it up, I have listed a few below.
I purchased my copy from Dymocks in Sydney.
