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

In a crumbling Belfast houseshare, three women are living for the weekend, their wild friendship the core of their lives.

Maggie: navigating the twin perils of therapy and a situationship with an unavailable woman.
Harley: careening from club to club, hookup to hookup, in a blurry quest for meaning.
Róise: about to turn thirty, her crush on her boss the only reason she still turns up to work.

But the three of them used to be four. And now, one year on from a tragic accident, Maggie, Róise and Harley still can’t face up to any of it: to the death of their best friend, adulthood, the future, and to each other.

'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
