Almost Love by Louise O'neill

Almost Love by Louise O'neill

If it doesn't hurt, it's not love: the gripping new novel from the bestselling author of Asking for It. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes and Jodi Picoult

Powerful and intense, O'Neill is one of our most uncompromising authors- John Boyne

A real, raw story of how a woman's yearning for a potent relationship can poison happiness but help her discover the shadowy parts of herself. Louise O'Neill will once again connect to the secret, intimate places of readers' minds and lives - Cecelia Ahern

With a pen sharp as needles, the author unpicks the kind of obsessive love to which nobody is immune: I would challenge any reader to turn the final page without having flushed, at least once, in recognition. Her gaze is unflinching but never cruel; we are invited to examine, but never judge. O'Neill is a vital and necessary presence in contemporary literature, and we are lucky to have her. - Sarah Perry

A bold, uncompromising depiction of obsessive love. Reinvents the template for the female protagonist. - Marian Keyes

'Superb pockets of relatable truths . . . one of Ireland's most astute social observers' - Irish Independent

'Breaks another boundary that women's fiction rarely approaches' - Irish Times

Intelligent, compelling, with considerable psychological depth - Daily Mail

Honest and poignant, Almost Love tells a story of love, of obsession and of reckoning with the common saying that 'if it doesn't hurt, it's not love - Elle
