The International Bestseller

'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 wild 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 them apart, Harley, Maggie and Róise still can’t face up to any of it: to adulthood, the future, and to each other.

Kritikerstimmen

Hilarious and gut-wrenching (Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller)
It’s compulsively readable and brilliant on friendship and grief. I raced through it (Daily Mail)
Think Dolly Alderton, but with the sharp edges of Eliza Clark . . . O’Hare has a true gift for a visceral simile, her sandpapery prose scribbling vivid pictures of messy pleasure that you can practically smell off the tequila-soaked page
So funny, taut and complex (Wendy Erskine, author of The Benefactors)
An absolute riot - funny, compassionate, observant and wise . . . O'Hare attends so closely, so wittily and so empathetically to every single one of these characters . . . enormously impressive and fun (Kevin Power, The Irish Times)
Very funny . . . a little bit Dolly Alderton and a little bit Lena Dunham, with a wholly Irish soul
Brilliant. The characters were so warm and real, I felt like I knew them. A beautiful look at friendship and transition, it was funny, bittersweet, and honest (Chloe Michelle Howarth, author of Sunburn)
Raucous, sexy and f*cking hilarious. A heady mix of Michael Magee's Close to Home and Lena Dunham's Girls. Everybody should read this book. (Aimée Walsh, author of Exile)
An emotional wild ride in all the best ways (Dakota Johnson, TEATIME Book club)
An absolutely cracking read . . . Gráinne O’Hare has a keen eye, a sharp wit, pitch-perfect comic timing and a big heart, and spending time with her and her trio of female friends has all the raucous intimate pleasure of a big night out without any of the hangover. I loved it (Lucy Caldwell, author of These Days)
A triumph. Gráinne O’Hare is 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)
Spiky, funny, cool, heartbreaking . . . There were so many turns of phrase I had to read again and again because they were so perfectly put. It’s a deeply fulfilling and tender read about the power of female friendship and of finding light in dark places. A dazzlingly assured novel (Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters)
It’s one of those novels that you can’t believe is a debut. O’Hare is a writer to watch out for in 2025 and beyond
A rising star of the Belfast New Wave . . . this book is for anyone who has found themselves on the fraying end of a close friendship, appreciates comedy or experienced their twenties in a blur of high emotion (The Irish Post)
High-velocity, hilarious, and rooted in the chaos and absolute commitment of female friendship. I love her work (Naomi Booth, author of raw content)
