Jess has been in love with her best friend, Kate, for seven years,
but her feelings have never been returned. One night they sleep
together, and Jess finds out how much it is possible to be hurt by
someone close. Jess and Kate struggle to redefine their friendship.
They spend a week at Jess's family holiday house in a small seaside
town, Awatangi, intending to make the time to talk things through,
but the conversations never happen. Kate makes vague promises, but
begins to have second thoughts. Jess wants Kate, and nothing else,
and is heartbroken that isn't enough. Jess decides - while
everything is changing in her life - that she doesn't want to go on
living in the city, that she wants to return to Awatangi. Part of
her hopes some physical distance between them may help things with
Kate, and part of her - frustrated and upset - simply wants to
leave Kate behind. In Awatangi, Jess meets Keri, a local lawyer who
has also recently returned home. Like Jess, Keri surfs, and like
Jess, she seems to feel some attachment to her family roots in
Awatangi. Jess is drawn to Keri, but forces herself not to let
anything happen. Despite everything, Kate is still Jess's closest
friend, and she has loved Kate all her life. She feels she has to
give the situation with Kate as long as she can to work itself out.
Awatangi is about coping with feelings for a close friend that are
not returned, set in a small holiday township on the West Coast of
the South Island of New Zealand. It is an exploration of getting
what you've always wanted and it not being enough, of being in love
with one person and wanting another, and of finding out that life
doesn't always turn out as expected.
