Creí que sería una buena idea escoger un libro al azar, sin leer reseñas ni nada, como hacía antes de conocer Goodreads. Este fue el resultado de ese experimento, y no, no fue una buena idea.Amelia, la protagonista, tiene 15 años y es tan madura y tan intelectual y lee taaanto. Así que, ¿qué mejor f...
Actual rating 3.5 the ending killed me, seriously, I was hoping it had a sequel but NO. that's think I love about aussies chick lit, they're sooo real, I need more of this..
Ah, nothing better than a good Aussie YA. I just finished this (much too quickly, I might add) and I'm finding pretty difficult to form a rock solid opinion. It was great - I know I loved it. It was honest and sweet without removing the rough edges. Why is that it can contain sex and swearing and st...
Good Oil is a story of first love, of unrequited love, of yearning, of youthful innocence and of growing up. The story is honest, realistic, thoughtful, humorous, inspiring and quite lovely. The story transported me back in time, about 15 years to be precise. It’s difficult to read this and not be r...

Now that is what i call Awesome .Good Oil by Laura Buzo is a honest to good realistic teenage wonderland roller-coaster ! it's exciting ...
I had great expectations of this book. They were partly realised. An Australian young adult novel is all that was needed to ensure my interest. It seems to be the necessary stamp of quality in the genre these days. It seems to guarantee realistic and effective writing. And it did, for a majority of ...
(4.5 stars) Good Oil was another book full of Aussie filled goodness which I extremely enjoyed! Good Oil does a great job of capturing the essence of being a teenager; it reminded me of the many things I wanted to do like go to adult parties, but couldn’t get to do so as I wasn’t considered old eno...
4.5 starsFull disclosure: This review has little to no objectivity. It’s barely even a review. The whole experience of reading Good Oil was so fraught with nostalgia and personal resonance that any ability I had to critically analyse it was chucked out the window before I’d even finished the first c...
Another great aussie novel, only this time I got warm fuzzies instead of gut-wrenching depression. Good Oil is light, funny, occasionally sad, and discusses some important issues in well-written conversations that are as hilarious as they are thought-provoking. It's told from two different perspecti...
I don't really know what to say about this book. For starters, I'm confused. When I first read description of Good Oil, I expected something in the Jennifer Echols or Jenny Han style. Well, if you want light summer read, you can skip this book. It's not light. I'm not even sure that average fifteen ...
