Book Review| 'Relativity' Antonia Hayes

Relativity is the debut novel from Antonia Hayes , It was published on 17th January.


'Ethan is an exceptionally gifted young boy, obsessed with physics and astronomy.
His single Mother Claire is fiercely protective of her brilliant, vulnerable son but she can't shield him forever from learning the truth about what happened to him when he was a baby; why Mark had to leave them all those years ago.

Now age twelve, Ethan is increasingly curious about his past, especially his father's absence in his life. When he intercepts a letter to Claire from Mark, he opens a lifetime of feelings that, like gravity, will pull the three together again.' 


I loved this novel is was heart warming and thought provoking, i couldn't put it down. The characters were all relatable and likable. This is an amazing debut novel and i highly recommend it to you.

The Dry is the debut Novel by Jane Harper and is published today! 

'Amid the worst drought to ravage Australia in a century, it hasn't rained in small country town Kiewarra for two years. Tensions in the community become unbearable when three members of the Hadler Family are brutally murdered. Everyone thinks Luke Hadler, who committed suicide after slaughtering his wife and 6 year old son, is guilty.

Policeman Aaron Falk returns to the town of his youth for the funeral of his childhood best friend, and is unwillingly drawn into the investigation. As questions mount and suspicion spreads through the town, Falk is forced to confront community that rejected him twenty years earlier. Because Falk and Luke Handler shared a secret, one which Luke's death threatens to unearth and as Falk probes deeper into the killings, secrets from past and why he left home bubble to the surface as he questions the truth of his friends crime.'


Firstly, i love the genre of this book it's a thriller/mystery. The plot had me gripped and i just wanted to keep on reading! I found that the characters  especially Aaron Falk were likeable. The descriptions of the town were very detailed and allowed me to create an image in my head. The plot is easy to follow. 
I highly recommend this book, if you like a brilliant thriller/mystery. It is a fantastic first novel by Jane Harper, i hope it's the first on many!
