Author: Will Kostakis
Publisher: Penguin Random House
Three copies to give away
The swimmer, the rebel and the nerd. All Ryan, Harley and Miles had in common was Isaac. They lived different lives, had different interests and kept different secrets. But they shared the same best friend. They were sidekicks. And now that Isaac’s gone, what does that make them? Will Kostakis, award-winning author of The First Third, perfectly depicts the pain and pleasure of this teenage world, piecing together three points of view with intricate splendour. Will was the subject of media coverage recently when a school banned his speaking visit, after he came out as gay in a blog.
