The book is about five women who have been friends since childhood who come together for book club meetings.

Laura Brodnik of bmag says that "it's also a love letter to the city of Brisbane." Lou Heinrich of lip states that it is "depicting urban Aboriginal women in an easily consumable book."
Adaptation
