A cute little book from the Australian Author Monica McInerney. Writen exclusively for the Austalian market and offered as a freebie for the Booksalive campaign (www.booksalive.com.au).

I had never heard of Monica McInerney. I read this book because of other peoples reviews. I agree with both of them. I found this book to be a funny easy book to read. I have gone on to mooch other books by this author.

I loved this book. I hadn't read any by Monica McInerney before this, and I went on to mooch (and wishlist) more of hers. A fun read.

Sylvie has always been the odd one out in her family. Her mother is a celebrated artist, known for her bohemian lifestyle. Her father, long estranged from the family, is a respected poet and academic. Sylvie's two beautiful sisters and her big brother are also making their mark in the design world.Sylvie hasn't an artistic bone in her body. On the verge of turning thirty, back living in the family home in Sydney and working for her mother and sisters, she feels stuck in a major rut. Then her brother Sebastian steps in with a rescue plan. He offers her a room in his Melbourne apartment for as long as she likes, on one condition. In an updated version of a treasure hunting game they played as children, she has to follow his instructions and go exploring the city. Within days, she's doing things she's never done before, going to places she's never been and beginning to think of ideas for a new career. She is also getting to know a very lovely man. Life is looking up. Then Sebastian reveals one final challenge...
