I absolutely loved this book. Set in 1970s Brisbane, it beautifully captures the innocence and intensity of growing up, with a unique and heartfelt focus on greyhound racing. The writing is vivid and nostalgic, transporting you straight into the sun-soaked suburbs and under-the-house kennels where Andie Tanner's world revolves around her beloved dogs and her dreams of becoming a trainer.

As Andie’s life begins to unravel, the story takes a gripping turn, blending coming-of-age themes with deeper issues of family, loss, and resilience. I was completely absorbed—from the thrill of race night to the quiet heartbreak of Andie's shifting world.

A moving and unforgettable read.
