Description

When Leslie McDonald wins a trip to Las Vegas, an absurd holiday becomes a pilgrimage; one that leads her back to joy, back to herself, and to the astonishing realisation that her life still belongs to her. I Love the Whole World! is a celebration of life and self. Hilarious, joyous and beautifully observed, it is a novel about friendship, ageing and the extra/ordinary act of deciding to begin again.

Victoria Hannan is a photographer and writer who lives in Melbourne/Naarm. Her previous novels are Kokomo and Marshmallow.

Sophie Roberts is a Sydney-based digital creative,best known as the co-creator of Highly Enthused, a popular recommendation newsletter and former podcast she co-founded with Sophie McComas-Williams.

The Rose Read Bookshop is an independent bookshop founded by Stephanie Beck and Mischa Parkee and is built from a love of books, community, and the women who inspire us.

Our journey began in 2007, when Steph and Mischa met in high school and formed a connection that became stronger over the years through a shared love of reading.

Rose Read is more than just a bookshop; we strive to be a place of gathering, where people with differing experiences can come together in a safe space and connect through a shared love of books. We recognise that the land in which Rose Read is built on has long been a place of gathering and where storytelling has always existed.

Our booksellers are passionate about celebrating diverse voices and championing books that surprise, challenge, and inspire; books that provide a gateway to understanding different perspectives, feelings, and ways of being.

Rose Read is a space for readers, browsers, gift-givers, families, and anyone who believes stories can change the way we see the world. We can’t wait to welcome you in.
