Praise for No Neat Endings:

‘Deeply affecting… [Carew] excels in use of ‘the unsaid’ as a sign of masculine inexpressiveness.’ – Australian Book Review

‘A strong meditation on masculinity in Australia and its many fault lines.’ – Books & Publishing

‘Folded into almost every story is the touching melody of sweetness playing somewhere, a longing, a hope for maybe a happy ending of some kind.’ – Sydney Morning Herald/The Age
