Book Review: Soft Serve, by George Kemp

Love a bit of Aussie climate fiction and this book had everything — down-to-earth setting, complex characters, a broader sense of unease and hopelessness that hangs over many Aussie towns today. I loved the idea of four broken characters, bound by tragedy, stuck in a McDonald’s while the world burns down. While it occasionally went a little overboard at the sentence level (someone has been reading Trent Dalton, perhaps?), on the whole, this was a beautifully cinematic and haunting read.
