Business Wise is not for every reader.
Not a One-Size-Fits-ALl-Read. It's a quirky mix - some love the story, others prefer regular storytelling. Read if it's up your alley.

''This has definitely been one of those unexpectedly wonderful read!''

I would like to thank the author and Read the Book tours for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Business Wise captured my attention the minute I knew that it was set in 1980's Australia and I can confidently say that Clarke has delivered a vivid and inspiring historical fiction book that will win you over.

I was taken back to the era, set in Sydney, where the lives of the Gallaghers and Garrisons play out through multiple POV's, strong friendships, a budding romance and unexpected plot twists that leave you on edge.

Each of the characters have a unique voice and personality that makes the experiences they face and choices they make, an interesting and unpredictable read.

The themes that the author weaves through the bigger plot are carefully crafted to touch on the times that the story takes place in and I found this to be a subtle yet mindful touch.

It felt lovely to read a woman centric book set in a world familiar to the one I have grown up in, yet descriptive and detailed enough to let your imagination flow. This has definitely been one of those unexpectedly wonderful reads of 2021!

''Trouble following the storyline''

I read the entire book but had trouble following the story line. Part of the time I wasn't sure which character was talking. I finally figured out the book was about two feuding familys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prevent you get a story hangover from Business Wise.
Read if this story is right for you and info on our writing style.

Why do you write in multiple perspectives?

We stopped reading fiction because it felt the character was 24/7 alone - and it made us bored! So, we write in multiple perspectives to give you sneak peeks. Stories should be visual to, read like a movie. It's an improved reading experience (subjective) and allows you to decide for yourself which character you like most!

Why is Business Wise set in Australia?

What is there not to love about Australia? All kidding aside here, we love Australia enormously (runs deep!) It has all the elements we want: glamour, elegance, fun, colourful characters and most of all: Australia feels like home. We literally write stories set in Oz with a huge smile on our face.

Heavy topics vs. Drama?

Business Wise includes some drama, yes. The difference is that we don't push storylines too far. To us, stories should make you feel safe and protected - not filled with anxiety. Heavy topics are avoided, drama is included but expect that it will be okay. Fiction should be your safe place where characters take care of you.

Why is Business Wise edited ''less''?

This doesn't mean we kept grammatic errors in! It's about avoiding it becomes a surgical reading environment: so much editing that it feels robotic. That's what we dislike about regular fiction books. It often lacks feeling and seems as if the creativity was edited out. So we work with editors that respect our guidelines. Our editors are real readers and are trained to understand what we need stories to be. This results in less edited stories, that meet our standards. You get proof it's written by a real human.

When won't I like Business Wise?

If you love heavy topics; thrillers and the ultimate shock factor you are unlikely to like this story. And - if you prefer books with one single perspective (one main character) and simple stories, we doubt Business Wise is for you.

Where is Business Wise inspired by?

Favourite topic! Business Wise is a respectful nod to The Flying Doctors, A Country Practice, McLeod's Daughters and a ton of fanfiction we wrote as a The Flying Doctors fan.
