The First Third
The First Third | Will Kostakis
6 posts | 13 read
A painfully funny yet poignant contemporary Australian story for young adults, The First Third is the witty sophomore novel from Will Kostakis, sure to appeal to fans of Nick Earls and Melina Marchetta.Life is made up of three parts: in the first third, you're embarrassed by your family; in the second, you make a family of your own; and in the end, you just embarrass the family you've made.That's how Billy's grandmother explains it, anyway. She's given him her bucket list (cue embarrassment), and now, it's his job to glue their family back together.No pressure or anything.Fixing his family's not going to be easy and Billy's not ready for change. But as he soon discovers, the first third has to end some time. And then what?It's a Greek tragedy waiting to happen.

I didn‘t even read this 2013 release until 2017, and all I can say to myself is ‘what the hell?‘ It‘s the perfect blend of emotion and humour, of authenticity and sense of identity. I love Will, call him a friend and can‘t wait to see how he develops as a writer. #tenbooksonedecade #loveozya #2013

Thoroughly enjoyed. Got to meet Will Kostakis and get my book signed. Was great to hear the back story.

There was so much heart packed into the 248 pages of this story. This book perfectly reflected imperfect family life. It was also refreshingly diverse without feeling like it's trying too hard to be.

Will's Yiayia signed my copy of The First Third, this is so unspeakably cool. (Sorry Will, you have been outclassed)
