A Most-Anticipated Novel of 2025 - DAZED, Irish Times, RTÉ

'Hilarious and gut-wrenching' - Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller


'Think Dolly Alderton, but with the sharp edges of Eliza Clark' - Independent

Sometimes friends hold you together.
Sometimes they're why you're falling apart.


Maggie, Harley and Róise are friends on the brink: of triumph, catastrophe, or maybe just finally growing up. Their crumbling Belfast houseshare has been witness to their roaring twenties, filled with questionable one-night stands and ruthless hangovers. But now fault-lines are beginning to show.

The three girls are still grieving the tragic death of their friend, Lydia, whose room remains untouched. Their last big fight hangs heavy over their heads, unspoken since the accident. And now they are all beginning to unravel.

Thirst Trap by Gráinne O'Hare is a blazing, bittersweet, bitingly funny, and painfully relatable story about the friendships that endure through the very best and the very worst of times.

'Compulsively readable and brilliant on friendship and grief. I raced through it' - Daily Mail

'So funny, taut and complex' - Wendy Erskine, author of The Benefactors

'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

Readers are raving about Thirst Trap:

'Made me laugh and cry in equal measure'

'Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving . . . I loved every page of it'
'Sharp, funny, and deeply relatable'
'This book is the moment'
'I mourned this being over. It's sad and beautiful and real and messy. It's perfect'
