Longlisted for the 2023 Indie Book Awards.
Excitable girls rush out to meet life; what could go wrong? A masterful debut
about the terrifying thrills of innocence from a voice of experience.
Teenagers sneak out to the creek for a wild New Year's Eve party. A
sleep-deprived woman who imagines she is pregnant to a Viking faces her scathing
sixteen-year-old self. A woman in love wakes up in a van Gogh painting.
These gem-like stories are about the desire to rush out and meet life; about
getting in over your head; about danger, and damage, and what it means to
survive - and not always survive - the risk of being young. They chart the
borderlands between girls and women, daughters and mothers, freedom and fear.
Emerging fully-formed and singing songs of both innocence and experience, Anne
Casey-Hardy is the rarest of new voices: at the same time reckless and entirely
in control; funny and frightening; wise and full-blooded.
