Call Me Evie

Holly says: "I saw books by this Rotorua native on many bookstore shelves, so when the owner of McLeod’s suggested this title, I had to snag it. While I haven’t cracked it open just yet, it’s described as a Gone Girl-esque thriller that is set between an isolated Aotearoa New Zealand beach town and Melbourne, Australia. Evie is a teenage girl on the run, who can't trust the man who isn’t really her uncle, can’t remember what she might have done, and oh—Evie isn’t actually her real name. Pomare’s second novel In the Clearing is being adapted for Disney+, and I’m excited to see how it turns out."
