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.
Reviews
An outrageously comic, moving debut
Guardian
It’s so special, so arrestingly heartfelt, and so painfully, gorgeously real
Becky Albertalli
An emotionally stirring queer romance with witty, playful dialogue
Publishers Weekly
Audaciously fills a gap in queer romance. The novel’s voice is delightfully brash and no-nonsense … Smyth paints each character as a complex, messy, lifelike individual.
Kirkus
A charming and funny debut YA from a new Belfast-based talent… Written with a light touch, lots of humour and dollops of heart, this is the perfect summer read.
