LUCIE WHITEHOUSE
Hera is in her mid-twenties, which seems young to everyone except people in their mid-twenties.
Since leaving school, she has been trying to kick and scream into existence a life she cares about, but with little success so far.
Until she meets Arthur.
He works with her, he is older than her, he is also married. But in her soulless office - the large cold room she feels destined to spend her life in - he is a source of much-needed sustenance.
And though Hera has previously dated women, she soon falls headlong into a workplace romance that will quickly consume her life.
Laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving and whip-smart, Green Dot is a story about the terrible allure of wanting something that promises nothing and the winding, torturous, often hilarious journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.

Amazing reading- very convincing
A surprisingly fresh take on a tale as old as time. The performance brings the Australian context to life completely.

Heartbreak
Sometimes this seemed lightweight and not for a person of my mature years. But the description of heartbreak, longing, the pointlessness and pain of trying to live without the person who is 'bad' for you yet makes life worthwhile is painfully accurate.

Why do all married men like Springsteen
This was creepily resonant, if I was a good writer I could have written it. ALL married men are the same it seems, I will leave it at that.

Full of depth, harrowingly realistic and very well written
Harrowingly realistic portrayal of the main character’s perspective, the emotion is tangible throughout. Very clever writing, to be able to get across such variations of subtlety and strength of the feelings and thoughts of the character in each moment. Really impressed with the whole book. I enjoyed the narrator and at times found her voice a bit grating, yet once I got used to it (sounded better after reducing the listening speed), I think that the narrator’s articulation was perfect for getting across the character’s intricate emotions.

great listen
interesting and easy to follow story but sadly the ending was too predictable. I feel Hera betrayed her character in a few areas where she didn't show her independent strength.

Truly felt the heartbreak
I loved this book, the feeling of all consuming love and the sadness of heartbreak. The narrator was fabulous.

A modern take on a tale as old as time.
This has to be a true story. Both main characters are so believable. The narrator is perfect and adds to the feeling that you are listening to a friend recounting a life lesson.

Interesting take on this side of the story
Some other reviewers say they didn’t think the main character wasn’t likeable or that her character developed over the course of the story. I think that’s the point of this book. Lessons to be learnt as a listener.
