Something Blue

Nicole Najim is struggling to find herself after a painful break-up just when she thought she was going to settle down. Working a dead-end job in the family car dealership, and at a loose end, she picks up a camera and returns to the melting pot of Sydney's West - an area largely ignored by the rest of tribal Sydney - to rediscover her roots.
When she catches up with childhood friend, Danny, who makes his living in a shadowy underworld, their relationship intensifies, just as the law starts to close in, forcing Nicole to choose her own dreams, even as those she loves are lost.​Alex Sarkis writes with warmth, humour, and a spot-on eye for the characters and suburbs of the world she grew up in. This is a debut about loving home and leaving home, and never escaping your roots. Or your footy colours.
