About this episode
On this week’s episode, Bianca chats with Belfast-born writer Gráinne O’Hare , author of the hilarious, tender, and irresistibly relatable debut novel ‘ Thirst Trap’ . They discuss the evolution of Thirst Trap —from messy drafts to its final form, capturing the chaos, grief, and wild nights of your 20s, writing nuanced female friendships, crafting authentic dialogue, balancing “quiet” storytelling with real emotional stakes and so much more! If you love coming-of-age stories with humor, heart, and a whole lot of hangovers, this episode is for you. Note: CeCe Lyra is a literary agent at Wendy Sherman Associates.
