The International Bestseller
Shortlisted for the Betty Trask Prize

'Hilarious and gut-wrenching' - Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller


'Think Dolly Alderton, but with the sharp edges of Eliza Clark' - Independent

Belfast: three girls are living for the weekend, their friendship the only thing that matters.

Harley: hurtling from club to club in a wild and blurry quest for meaning.

Maggie: navigating a situationship with an unavailable woman, and, of course, therapy.

Róise: only bothering to turn up to her boring office job due to an ill-advised crush on her boss.

But the three of them used to be four. And now, one year on from a tragic accident that almost ripped the group apart, Harley, Maggie and Róise still can't face up to any of it: to adulthood, the future, or to one another.

'Compulsively readable and brilliant on friendship and grief. I raced through it' - Daily Mail

'So funny, taut and complex' - Wendy Erskine, author of The Benefactors

'Like the literary love child of Miranda July and Carrie Fisher, transposed in Belfast - hilarious, smart and chaotic in the best way' - Louise Nealon, author of Snowflake

Shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards
A Most-Anticipated Novel of Year - DAZED, Irish Times, RTÉ
