'Highly inventive, astute and funny ... A thought-provoking reflection on loneliness, love and the search for connection'

Observer

Hilarious … Crossan's deadpan style is bone-dry, and Dolores's conversations with Zoey are the best bits of all

Daily Mail

Deep, relatable, depressing, and darkly funny ... Crossan has a knack for capturing utterly normal conversations and trains of thought in ways that are arresting ... Propelled by its style and by the beauty of its prose … Keeps the reader gripped until the last page … It is a deep exploration of the intricacies of human connections and intimacy, as well as an examination of trauma (especially childhood trauma) and its ability to influence our lives, even if we are determined not to let it do so

Irish Independent

This novel is as rip-roaring as it is thought provoking

i

'A singular writer with her own style and conviction ... Thought-provoking ... How do we write about trauma? Ask Sarah Crossan'

Irish Times

Dark humour and offbeat tenderness enhance the intense readability of a book that has plenty to say about contemporary intimacy
