What to expect
'Funny and dark. Tender and tough. Uncanny and relatable' Erin Kelly
'Intriguing, fresh, and satisfyingly complex; it makes you think, and it makes you feel' Lesley Glaister
A provocative, tender and darkly funny novel that explores the painful truths of modern-day connection, and all the complicated and unexpected forms that love can take in a lifetime.
Imagine discovering an animatronic sex doll hidden in the garage. What would you do?
Dolores initially does nothing. She assumes the doll belongs to her husband, David, and their relationship is already strained. They’re not young, they’re not old; they have no children, they keep up with the markers of being middle class and Dolores is well versed in keeping men’s secrets.
But then, Dolores and Zoey start to talk ...What surfaces runs deeper than Dolores could have ever expected, with consequences for all of the relationships in her life, especially her relationship to herself.
Hey, Zoey is a propulsive story of love, family, and trauma in our tech-buffered age of alienation, as strange as it is familiar.

'Unique, refreshing and revelatory ... Reads the zeitgeist perfectly' Helen Cullen
'One of our most inventive writers, Sarah Crossan, blends comedy, drama and heartbreak in a novel that is as surprising as it is memorable' John Boyne

This darkly funny modern love story had me gripped all the way from its compelling opening to its unexpectedly moving and worrying conclusion. Hey, Zoey offers a sharp and sometimes shocking exploration of relationships between friends, lovers and family. It’s intriguing, fresh, and satisfyingly complex; it makes you think, and it makes you feel
LESLEY GLAISTER, author of Little Egypt -
Hey, Zoey is a flight of the imagination mapping the twilight zone of broken love. Highly original, deeply moving, simultaneously delicate yet hard hitting, Crossan is elegantly devastating in her ability to evoke our tender, unguarded selves
