Lovesome

By Sally Seltmann

A nostalgic and heartwarming tale of art, friendship, and self-discovery in 1990s Sydney.

It's 1995, and 21-year-old Joni Johnson is finding her way as an artist, working at the charming French restaurant Harland. Surrounded by the eccentric owner, Lucy, and the kind-hearted chef, Dave, Joni's life is a blend of artistic passion and budding friendships. By day, she paints in her backyard bungalow, turning her emotions into art.

But when Joni's best friend, Annabelle, arrives with news of a whirlwind romance, Joni's carefully constructed world feels inadequate. As Annabelle's star rises and she sets her sights on the one man who captures Joni's attention, their friendship is tested. Will Joni find her own path to love and success, or will jealousy and insecurity threaten everything she holds dear? A tender and funny exploration of female friendship, artistic ambition, and the search for belonging in the vibrant backdrop of 90s Sydney.
