Description

Winner of the Waterstones Book Prize for Older Readers. A laugh-out-loud sapphic romcom for fans of Sex Education and Derry Girls. When Aideen agrees to help ambitious class swot Maebh Kowalska deal with her crazy workload, she doesn’t expect to end up reluctantly pushing Maebh down the stairs and becoming the school ‘fixer’. Any problem a student has, Aideen will sort it out, from stealing confiscated mobiles to breaking into parties. But Aideen’s own life is a mess. Spending more time with the uptight (but annoyingly cute) Maebh and chatterbox Kavi, Aideen starts to wonder: can every problem be solved? Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Older Readers and the Laugh Out Loud Teen Book Award. Shortlisted for the Children's Book Ireland Awards, the Irish Book Awards and the Polari Prize and nominated for the Carnegie Medal. 'Smart, well observed and highly entertaining' Observer 'Romantic, hilarious and full of crazy capers' Guardian

Media Reviews

"I howled with laughter. Derry Girls but better, with such a massive heart" -- Joanna Nadin
"[B]rilliantly channels the acerbic putdowns and frank humour of TV’s Derry Girls and Sex Education... Smart, well observed and highly entertaining" -- Fiona Noble * Observer *
"Romantic, hilarious and full of crazy capers, Smyth’s second novel also quietly conveys the grinding anxiety of growing up poor without parental support" * Guardian *
"[A] charming novel for young lesbians" * The Bookseller *
"Witty and engaging. This engaging novel will hook readers immediately." -- starred review * School Library Journal *

Author's Bio

Ciara Smyth studied drama, teaching and then social work at university. She thought she didn’t know what she wanted to be when she grew up. She became a writer so she wouldn’t have to grow up. She enjoys jigging (verb: to complete a jigsaw), playing the violin badly, and having serious conversations with her pets. Ciara has lived in Belfast for over ten years and still doesn’t really know her way around.
