Bodies - The 'It Girl' Book of the Year

From the older boy who takes her for a snog while his pregnant girlfriend waits in the bar, to the controlling boyfriend and the married man, this is a novel driven by rage and grief, yet it is tender and true and relatable. Playing with our ideas of victim and perpetrator, Foley invites us all to think about the way a woman operates in a society where her body feels owned by others as much as it is by herself. It''s a propulsive story about sex, death, and the reality of growing up and making choices about who and how you love.
