Maybe just a small one. Borne out of a misunderstanding. Never intended to be told. But one lie leads to another.&amp;nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s easier to go along with it than to explain the whole truth,\u201d you tell yourself. That\u2019s exactly where the protagonist of Dominic Amerena\u2019s debut novel, I Want Everything, finds himself. Dom is a masterful storyteller. We talked about truth and lies, wild years abroad, plot twists, and just what lengths someone will go to when they\u2019re desperate, ambitious, and out of options. I Want Everything,&amp;nbsp;which has been praised as &quot;the funniest novel of 2025&quot; is available for pre-order here  now, releasing on April 30 by Simon &amp;amp; Schuster. \u2013  Shop Latest  Discover Bespoke This episode was live-recorded on Wurundjeri country.
