We are so thrilled to reveal We Could Be Something by Will Kostakis - Author – coming May 2023!

Seventeen-year-old Harvey dreams of escaping his life. But when the relationship between his dads breaks down, he's hauled across Australia on a red-eye flight from Perth to Sydney to live on top of a café with the extended Greek family he barely knows - a family who are about to get some very sad news.

Sotiris has achieved his dream. He's a published author at seventeen. But in reality, the dream … kind of sucks. When he meets a cute, wise-cracking bookseller named Jeremy, however, he discovers a new and unexpected dream. One he's not sure he's prepared for.

Harvey's and Sotiris's stories converge on the same street in Darlinghurst, in this beautifully heartfelt novel about how our dreams shape us, and what they cost us.
