A wonderful coming-of-age queer romance from the multi award-winning author of The Boy from the Mish. Jonah is the new kid in a country town. When he joins the local soccer team to be closer to his crush, Harley, it feels like a fresh start – but he still has to navigate new friendships, an unresolved past, and the same body image issues he’s always had.
Mumma Chelles Review
Gary John Bishop’s I’m Not Really Here is a thought-provoking and deeply human read that invites us to slow down, look inward, and reconnect with what truly matters.
With honesty and warmth, Bishop explores how our thoughts and patterns shape the way we experience life — and how shifting our inner world can bring more peace, presence, and purpose. It’s a book that can also reminds grown-ups, parents, and carers alike that self-awareness isn’t selfish — it’s an act of love.
When we take the time to understand and heal ourselves, we naturally create calmer, more connected spaces for the people around us. Gentle, real, and quietly powerful, this one is worth sitting with — perhaps over a cuppa and a little stillness.
