A super sweet YA short story that just warmed my cold, dead heart.

Trigger warnings: COVID-19, fear around coming out to a parent.

This was too stinking cute for words. Please write a full length book immediately, Kostakis.

I really liked this. Really easy read. Tessa is full of personality, full of heart, and full of regret. AND you feel for her. She owns her mistake and wants to make up for it – and her attempt(s) make you cringe, laugh and hope for the best. For a 70-page read it is impressive how much character is built and story is packed into it. And I liked the COVID reference. It is amazing that with Brisbane in lockdown only last week, that still the lockdown that was described in the book feels a long time ago for me, but it bought back the mixed feelings of lockdown and COVID – and put simply, The Greatest Hit is a great short story.

When I saw the press release for this, with the first like “Tessa is a teenage has-been”, I felt rly called out lol
This was sweet and fun and I wish it was longer!
