Thirst Trap: A Novel

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

Harley, Róise, and Maggie have been friends for ages. They’ve been together for the highs and lows of their roaring twenties and loved each other through the chaos.

Harley hurtles from club to club in a wild and blurry quest for meaning. Maggie is navigating a situationship with an unavailable woman, and, of course, therapy. And Róise only bothers to turn up to her boring office job due to an ill-advised crush on her boss. On top of it all, the three are still grieving their fourth housemate, whose room remains untouched a year after the tragic accident that almost ripped the friends apart.

Now, one year after the four became three, their home is collapsing around them and the fault lines in their group are harder to ignore. As their thirtieth birthdays loom, the girls must decide if their friendship will survive into a new decade—or if growing up sometimes means letting go.
