Tight Lines

One summer. One mistake. A lifetime of consequences.

Luke, Josh and Matty spend their days surfing, fishing and drinking along the coast of their small Australian town. When Millie joins their tight-knit group, the future feels endless and life feels simple.

Then one night changes everything.

In an instant, a reckless decision shatters their friendships and sends each of them down a path they never imagined.

Years later, as they struggle to build lives of their own, the past refuses to stay buried. Drawn back together by memory, loss and the bonds they once shared, they must confront the choices that shaped them—and the people they've become.

Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of coastal Australia in the early 2000s, Tight Lines is a powerful and deeply moving novel about friendship, addiction, regret and redemption, and the enduring hope that even after our worst mistakes, a different future is still possible.

Perfect for readers of Trent Dalton, Tim Winton and Craig Silvey.
