Let's talk about
I Want to Know That I Will Be Okay by @propermiss ( @bansheelit)
Her debut adult fiction book, this is a collection of short stories, from the supernatural, to the tragic, to the witty, and thought-provoking.
This is an incredible book. No surprise, the writing is exquisite. But I can honestly say that every single story grips you and won't let you go until it's ready. This is hard enough to get right with one short story, imagine 14 of them in a row (All That You Possess is my fav)
To borrow words from @DoireannNiG: this is a female text. I want to know all the women each story centres around. I am all of these women at once. It feels like Deirdre has been watching all of us with a sense of clarity that informs and transforms the way we perceive ourselves.
Out May 13th - I know plenty of readers who I will be getting copies for. It's incredible, go read it when it is out.
