 "Martin is water, I am smoke. She is fire."

Set in early 90s Ireland, this follows Lucy over a few years of her teenage life, as she navigates family expectations, old fashioned values and religion with her burgeoning romance with her friend, Susannah. The sapphic angst was beautifully written, and I'll be recommending this book forever.
