Delicate Friends Paperback – February 7, 2025
Purchase options and add-ons
Is the love we crave the same as the love we deserve?
Perth, Western Australia. Spring bleeds into a sweltering summer as twenty-year-old Austin finds himself in unfamiliar territory. After abandoning his grief-stained life in Melbourne, reinvention could be his salvation – if only he knew where to find it.
As Austin navigates class dynamics, social isolation, and a taut relationship with his estranged cousin, he meets Ezra: handsome, older, and romantically jaded. Where Austin is reckless and petulant, Ezra is measured and guarded, though despite their polarity, they find themselves entangled in an unorthodox friendship that teeters between desire and disaster.
When wounds from both their pasts reopen, they must face the uncertainty of vulnerability or risk losing themselves – and each other – in the process.
Delicate Friends explores the thrilling yet painful grey area between friends and lovers, and charts the masochistic games we play in the pursuit of belonging.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book is melancholy, frustrating, and somehow a really fun read all at once! Delicate Friends has a narrator as unreliable and confused as they get, but despite how lost Austin is, you can't help but root for him (or at least, root against the people who hurt him). Set in Perth, Australia, a city defined by money or lack thereof, out of time, and abandoned, Austin's journey isn't just about one relationship, it's about so many kinds of fragile human connections that can break as easily as they form.
I'm usually not a fan of fiction without some magic, monsters, or mystery, but this one was hard to put down! Totally recommend :)
