Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize and the Goldsmiths Prize

Longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize

From the winner of the BBC National Short Story Award

The lives of three teenage girls are torn apart by a secret in this gut-punch of a novel - for fans of Eliza Clark and Megan Nolan


'It feels essential. You will read nothing else like it this year' GUARDIAN

'Blistering, brilliant, savage and smart' EIMEAR McBRIDE

Ask anyone non-Northern, they'll only know Donny as punch line of a joke or place they changed trains once ont way to London.

But Doncaster's also the home of Rach, Shaz and Kel, bezzies since childhood and Donny lasses through and through. They share everything, from blagging their way into nightclubs to trips to the Family Planning clinic when they are late. Never mind that Rach is skeptical of Shaz's bolder plots; or that Shaz, who comes from a rougher end of town, feels left behind when the others begin charting a course to uni; or that Kel sometimes feels split in two trying to keep the peace - their friendship is as indestructible as they are. But as they grow up and away from one another, a long-festering secret threatens to rip the trio apart.

'An astonishing polyphonic debut' Irish Times, Books of the Year

'Sublime' Roisin O'Donnell

'Brilliant and original on every level... she is a writer like nobody else' Elizabeth McCracken

'Electrifying... Written in what feels like a new and utterly distinctive female voice, it is very hard to put down' Mark Haddon
