This is a lovely collection of stories, almost all focussing on young people who are figuring themselves out. Bennett-Daylight captures the precise feeling of so many moments of awkwardness, unease and realisation and writes like a dream throughout. In many ways this is reminiscent of [b:Hot Little Hands|24681815|Hot Little Hands|Abigail Ulman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1425024533s/24681815.jpg|44299392], both in its approach (a mix of interlinked and standalone stories) and the type of moments, characters and stories that the authors are interested in. This is a more polished book – and one that has me enthused about exploring the author’s back catalogue. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Six Bedrooms is about growing up; about discovering sex; and about coming of age. Full of glorious angst, embarrassment and small achievements. Hot afternoons on school ovals, the terrifying promise of losing your virginity, sneaking booze from your mother's pantry, the painful sophistication and squalor of your first share house, cancer, losing a parent. Tegan Bennett Daylight's powerful collection captures the dangerous, tilting terrain of becoming adult. Over these ten stories, we find acute portrayals of loss and risk, of sexual longing and wreckage, blunders and betrayals. Threaded through the collection is the experience of troubled, destructive Tasha, whose life unravels in unexpected ways, and who we come to love for her defiance, her wit and her vulnerability. Stunningly written, and shot through with humour and menace, Six Bedrooms is a mesmerising collection of moments from adolescence through adulthood, a mix of all the potent ingredients that make up a life.

Most of the stories could be described as coming-of-age stories, as most of the protagonists are in their teens or early twenties. If you define coming-of-age broadly – that is, as a time of growth, transition and establishing identity – almost all the stories could be described as that.
