Sad Bad Girl novels combine the haplessness of Bridget Jones with the despair of Sally Rooney. Liz Evans assesses a ‘buzzy’ debut within the genre and a #MeToo novel that refreshingly defies categories.

Melbourne’s Verseary unveils intimate, folk-driven double-single, ‘A Fools Gold’
Words by Matt Parnell
‘A Fools Gold’ features the two singles, ‘Losing Game and ‘Sad Bad & Blue’.
Inspired by the great Melbourne exodus of 2020, Australian alt-country singer-songwriter Chantelle Rogers, aka Verseary, has released ‘A Fools Gold’.
This double single takes cues from Victoria’s famous gold rush period of the past, and compares it to the groups of people who left the city for the country in the middle of the pandemic. The commonality of these two, of course, being the idea that not everything will be as you dreamed it when you made the switch.
