Book Cover for Our Dreams Were Waking Up by Scotty McDonald. Featuring the legs of two people hugging.

Josh is 16, in year 11 and living a pretty average Aussie high school life, except he refuses to take risks. Parties are a no, alcohol a definite no and talking to his cousin, no chance after what she did.

When smart, funny and adventurous Amber steps into Josh’s life he discovers maybe she’s been what he needed all along to stop being scared and start living again. Josh and Amber’s friends envy their late-night picnics, secret hang out spots and bucket list of dates as they tackle each other’s fears one by one.

But will this newfound adventure prove Josh’s fear of risk was right all along? Could one selfish decision end up breaking their perfect first love story beyond repair?
