Review: The deep side of friendship
Rating: 5 out of 5

For all that Consumption is about our desperate consumer society, something Johnston displays with sparing and classy elan, for me Consumption will always be about the direction friendships can take. Of how toxic they become, how chained to the past a friendship can be and how liberating making the right choices is. The novel packs a huge emotional punch and is beautifully written. Highly recommended in a field that is as much romance as it is literary fiction.
