For fans of Dolly Alderton, Sally Rooney, Coco Mellors, Meg Mason -- the brutally honest coming of age for a millennial female story. Protagonist Rachel is finding her way in the world having graduated university during the 2008 recession, living with her closeted male best friend, leaving family, trying to find a job, a vocation, connection, love, self-acceptance. All the usual tribulations, but set in Catholic, conservative Ireland; the stakes for coming out, or being sexually promiscuous were much higher in a nation with Byzantine abortion laws.

Despite all those heavy issues, it's a really fun, compelling read with the added benefit of weight conferred by addressing those moral questions.

Thank you Knopf and #NetGalley for the ARC of #TheRachelIncident which is coming out in July.
