About the author

Will Kostakis was just a teenager when his first novel was released, and he's been writing (and rewriting) ever since. After a brief break to dabble in celebrity journalism and reconstruct his shattered dream he returned to writing and his latest novel, We Could Be Something, a heartfelt intergenerational coming-of-age story, won the 2024 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction.

Book Club Read - We Could Be Something

Read the book, meet the author, learn from the best and catch up with friends.

Part coming-out story. Part falling-in-love story. Part falling-apart story. Harvey's dads are splitting up. It's been on the cards for a while, but it's still sudden. Woken-by-his-father-to-catch-a-red-eye sudden. Now he's restarting his life in a new city, living above a cafe with the extended Greek family he barely knows.

Sotiris is a rising star. At seventeen, he's already achieved his dream of publishing a novel. When his career falters, a cute, wise-cracking bookseller named Jem upends his world.

Harvey 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.
