What to expect
A Most-Anticipated Novel of 2025 - DAZED, Irish Times, RTÉ
'Hilarious and gut-wrenching' - Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
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.
'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

Critics Review
'Hilarious and gut-wrenching'
'Brilliant. The characters were so warm and real, I felt like I knew them. A beautiful look at friendship and transition, it was funny, bittersweet, and honest'
'A triumph. Gráinne 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'
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.
'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'
'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'
High-velocity, hilarious, and rooted in the chaos and absolute commitment of female friendship. I love her work
