Why read it?

1 author picked We Could Be Something as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This cleverly crafted young adult novel takes us on a journey of self-discovery for two young men written from a dual point of view.

It examines a relationship breakdown, but ultimately love shines through. It’s also an Australian immigrant story about a Greek family, set in Sydney. I loved the twist I didn’t see coming, but then on reflection could see the clues all the way through. As a writer, I enjoyed analyzing how the author had managed to construct this story.
