Description

BOOK OF THE YEAR at the Irish Book Awards 2015

'A soul-shattering novel that will leave your emotions raw. This story will haunt me forever. Everyone should read it' Guardian
'Riveting and essential' New York Times
'Brilliant, harrowing' Observer
'A confronting and vital read' Elle


In a small town where everyone knows everyone, Emma O'Donovan is different. She is the special one - beautiful, popular, powerful. And she works hard to keep it that way.

Until that night . . .

Now, she's an embarrassment. Now, she's just a slut. Now, she is nothing.

And those pictures - those pictures that everyone has seen - mean she can never forget.

For fans of Caitlin Moran, Marian Keyes and Jodi Picoult.
