The stories in this book have resonated with so many people because they deal with universal themes. Whether it's a middle-aged woman reading her childhood diary, a young boy becoming the man of the house after the death of his Father, an ageing Raver losing his mind in a supermarket car park or a teenage girl struggling with the loss of her best friend, they each decide to make the best of the day that they are living in. The present is where the magic is. You can lose yourself in many books, but you will find yourself in this one.
"A moving, funny and profound celebration of youth culture."- Grant McPhee "Holistic and embalming stories that are tighter than a weaver birds nest."- Kate Bosworth "A Memorial Device for the Ravers."- Andy Gell
