Jafa: Just Another Friendly Australian: A funny, heart-warming coming of age travel adventure.

By Francesca Spencer

☆☆☆☆☆ 'Satisfying, brilliant, thrilling and funny ' (Marcia, Goodreads)

Crikey mate It's 1983. Wham are top of the charts. Two besties are on their Big O.E. in London.

Then one of them meets a bloke and things turn to shit.

Jafa, Jennie Agatha Frances Arthur, is a bit pissed off, to say the least. She can't understand it. It's not like he, the bloke - Nigel - is George Michael, or anything. Not even close.

Jennie and Evie had planned this trip of a lifetime since the school production of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat, for heaven's sake. And now Evie tells her she's not going because - wait for it - she wants to spend Christmas with the future in-laws.

It's a bit rich, forcryingoutloud.

But what does Jennie do? Go to see the pyramids anyway, without Evie? What the hell. Absolutely. Yes.

Does Jennie forgive Evie? Perhaps.

Is there a raucous, out-of-control, backpacking travel adventure, brushes with the criminal underworld, sex, drugs and a massive vodka watermelon party? Well...

Join Jafa as she blunders through from one dodgy decision to another - surviving a two-week holiday that turns into an eight-month, down the rabbit hole, flying by the seat of her pants, odyssey of self-discovery.

JAFA is like Trainspotting with an Aussie accent; Bridget Jones's Diary but with more sex, drugs and exotic locations; Four Weddings and a Funeral but with criminal activity and an eighties soundtrack; Eat Pray Love, but with extra cheese and spicy sauce; Alice in Wonderland, but... you'll understand when you read it.

Does Jennie make it back in time to wear the peach taffeta bridesmaid dress?
