'There is vibrancy and energy in each protagonist...Wonderful precision and wit...A remarkably entertaining story.' * Sydney Morning Herald * 'Young grounds the book in the cadences of daily life in regional Australia, while also having lots of self-aware fun winking at the conventions of sci-fi and romance storytelling. Crackling with irreverent energy...appealing to a wide range of readers.' * Big Issue * 'Genre-bending...a bit of a love story and a race against time...Australian flavoured Neil Gaiman Doctor Who action romp.' * RNZ Nine to Noon * 'Bootstrap is a wild, exhilarating ride of a book, from start to finish, bending and transcending genre and creating something powerfully original in the process. Georgina Young perfectly captures the language and attitude of rural Australia, and the tender core beneath rough-around-the-edges characters. This book is funny, witty and razor-sharp-a pure adrenaline rush!' * Holden Sheppard * 'Nails the dialogue of country Australia...Heart-warming, heart-wrenching, but also just really fun...I bloody adored it.' * Kylie Maslen * 'There is vibrancy and energy in each protagonist...Wonderful precision and wit...A remarkably entertaining story.' * Sydney Morning Herald *
