Spacey, with Go-Anna by his side, sets off in a beaten-up van and armed with a borrowed surfboard, chasing freedom along Australia's sunburnt coast-where strangers become kin and the ocean feels like home.
Go-Anna's fierce independence collides with Spacey's escape from suburbia, sparking a bond forged through humour, trauma, and salty resilience. Together, they hitch rides, dodge disasters, and confront ghosts of their past-on beaches, in festival haze, and through unexpected acts of kindness. From dodgy roadkill stew to illegal van mix-ups, every twist tests their grit and deepens their connection.
This raw, rollicking coming-of-age tale surfs the edge of rebellion and belonging in the unruly surf-and-soul landscape of 1980s Australia. Packed with laugh-out-loud moments and gut-punch truths, Spacey & Go-Anna is a wild ride about chosen family, Indigenous pride, and a love brave enough to fall face-first into the break.
Infused with lived experiences, salty resilience, and humour, Spacey & Go-Anna is a must-read for those who seek heart and the kind of friendship that can save a life.
