Story4.5 out of 5 stars 131
The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love. When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...

Story4 out of 5 stars 5
Mari and Elisabeth have been at the center of each other's lives for years. Close friends since university, they're now drifting through their mid-twenties, working casual jobs and living in run-down share houses. When they meet Jack, a charming academic historian twenty years their senior, they're attracted to the sophisticated, intellectual world in which he seems to move. As the summer gathers heat, Jack is drawn into their lives, and an unconventional relationship—halfway between friendship and love triangle—develops.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75
Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol and extreme cinema. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina's relationship with her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention....

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Rosie Royce is trying to live her best life. Really, she is. But it seems like life hasn't gotten the memo. It's been six years since childhood sweetheart Wes Preston jumped on a plane and never looked back, and Rosie spends most nights spooning her laptop. If she has to swipe on one more bloke posing with a sedated tiger, she'll scream. An impulse move to the idyllic country town of Mudgee is the fresh start Rosie needs, as she trades in her high-pressure marketing career for a laidback gig in local radio. Hell, she may even meet one of those dreamy farmers she's seen on TV.

Publisher's Summary
Hungover, underpaid and overwhelmed, this isn't where Penny expected to be as she reached her late twenties. A sharp, smart and witty look at adulting - Fleabag meets Sorrow and Bliss with a splash of Dolly Alderton.
"No Hard Feelings is clever, funny and surprisingly sweet, and Penny captured my heart." —Toni Jordan
I exist on validation from emotionally unavailable men, biscuits, and cheap wine, and it's easier to get off with Max than a Tiny Teddy.
Penny can't help but compare herself to her friends. Annie is about to become a senior associate at her law firm, Bec has just got engaged, Leo is dating everyone this side of the Yarra, and Penny is just ... waiting. Waiting for Max, her on-again, off-again boyfriend, to allow her to spend the night, waiting for the promotion she was promised, waiting for her Valium to kick in. Waiting for her real life to start.
Out of excuses and sick of falling behind, Penny is determined to turn things around. She's going to make it work with Max, impress her tyrannical boss, quit seeing her useless therapist, remember to water her plants, and stop having panic attacks in the work toilets.
But soon she's back to doomscrolling on Instagram, necking bottles of Aldi's finest sauvignon blanc, and criticising herself with renewed vigour and loathing. As her goals seem further away than ever, she has to wonder: when bad habits feel so good, how do you trust what's right for you?
Praise for No Hard Feelings:
"Genevieve Novak will inevitably be compared to other authors, but the truth is, she is herself and herself alone - and that's a good thing. Funny, biting, vulnerable and unflinching, Novak's novel is like an ocean dip: a bit salty, very refreshing." —Lauren Sams
"Scaldingly funny and bitingly real, No Hard Feelings deserves a warning label: danger, may induce binge reading. With her sly wit, Genevieve Novak's debut demonstrates a brilliant eye for observing the little things in life, which together can be the biggest things of all." —Tori Haschka, author of Grace Under Pressure
"No Hard Feelings is a gratifying, warm and funny debut." —Books+Publishing
"Novak has perfectly captured the self-doubt and total horror of having to be happy and functional in your twenties. It would have you crying into your chipped manicure if it wasn't so darn funny." —Kimberley Allsopp, author of Love and Other Puzzles

Therapeutic in every way
From the minute I started listening, I felt awash with the peace of being seen. I feel that often, once young women have outgrown media that fetishises teenagehood they are left with the thoroughly thirties worlds like those of Sex and the City: glamorous, expensive and ever-unattainable. This book fills a gap by existing in the mess of our late twenties. I love the way that it foregrounds Penny’s inner life. It was uniquely Aussie, uniquely millennial and so soothingly relatable. It’s full of great things every young person should hear in a fun and heartwarming way. Meg’s narration is perfect and nuanced. Definitely therapy!

Excellent observation on 20-something angst
This took me right back to my 20’s (I’m 60 now) and it was so beautifully observed with just the right wistful touches, humour and mental health struggles. The narrator was perky but mostly read too fast, swallowing some of her words in a way that would make this occasionally hard for non Australians to follow. Overall, highly recommended.

The narrator is perfect
Thoroughly enjoyed this story of friendship, coming of age, relationships, anxiety and learning how to care for one’s self. This story was real and infuriating (come onnnnnn Penny!!!) and funny and endearing. I grew to love Penny in spite of her faults, and the narrator is truly Penny incarnate.

Wonderfully relatable
This was a wonderful listen. The story was interesting and relatable, with a loveably messy main character. The narration was perfect. Really loved it.

Didn't finish
I got too tired of the whining to finish. It is an easy listen and the writing flows nicely, but it is very easy to see how the plot is going to develop. The constant whingeing of the main character along with her stupidity about Max just made it too painful to continue listening.
