About the book

In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker, who’s not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams, and an even bigger ego. Zeke is a shy over-achiever, never macho enough for his family. But all three boys hide who they really are. When the truth is revealed, will it set them free or blow them apart?

Join Holden at these special launch events:

  • Thursday 20 February – The Bookshop Darlinghurst
    The Bookshop Darlinghurst are inviting Sydneysiders to a literary dinner, with the author in conversation with journalist Steve Pennells. Ticket begins at $75 and covers you for a Thai banquet dinner. For more details and to secure your spot, visit the Bookshop Darlinghurst ticket link: here.
  • Wednesday 26 February – Walyalup Civic Centre
    Holden will reflect on the novel that launched his career in a conversation with journalist Ben O’Shea at the Walyalup Civic Centre, a venue that holds sentimental value as the site of the book’s original 2019 launch.
