One of the best Irish books I’ve read in years is included in the €1.14 Kindle sale

Thirst Trap is one of the best Irish books I've read in ten years

Thirst Trap by Gráinne O'Hare is the best Irish debut I have read in years. It perfectly captures what it’s like to be a woman in your late 20s/30s with heart, wit, and immense honesty.

This isn’t a glorified version of womanhood or a picture-perfect tale of female friendship. It’s messy, it’s heartbreaking, the characters are flawed, but they’re so real.

You can’t help but cheer them on as they figure out the messy thing that is female friendship.

This is the type of book I’ve wanted to read for ages. It really reminds me of Girls but with even more likeable characters, and incredibly addictive writing.

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.
