Thirst Trap by Gráinne O'hare

A wildly original debut set in Belfast: full of the pain, joy and bad decisions arising from young friendship, grief and bad house shares.

Hilarious and gut-wrenching -- Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
A triumphGráinne 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
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
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 -- RTÉ
A rising star of the Belfast New Wave . . . a 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
