Have you ever been caught in a lie?
Maybe just a small one. Borne out of a misunderstanding. Never intended to be told. But one lie leads to another. “It’s easier to go along with it than to explain the whole truth,” you tell yourself.
That’s exactly where the protagonist of Dominic Amerena’s 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’re desperate, ambitious, and out of options.
I Want Everything, which has been praised as "the funniest novel of 2025" is available for pre-order here now, releasing on April 30 by Simon & Schuster.
