She looks familiar…very familiar in fact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. It couldn’t be. Stunned, he returns home to confirm the impossible truth; it’s Brenda Shales, now in her old age and stranded in a retirement home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of literary stardom through a tell-all biography. But when he finds her, a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life. From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: 2026, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Scribner\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781398547490\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dominic Amerena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58902757474635,"sku":null,"price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781398547490.jpg?v=1792491972","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/i-want-everything","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
