The end of the school year is coming up, leaving siblings Paddy and Liz McLaughlin, Christy Meehan, Kevin Thompson and their friends having to soon decide what they will do with the rest of their lives.

But this is Derry in 1981, and they can't ignore the turmoil of the outside world. When one of their friends is killed, Christy and Paddy are stunned out of their stupor and decide to take matters into their own hands. However, choosing to fight will take hold of their lives in ways they never imagined.

One day, on a bitterly cold winter's afternoon, Michael and Caitlin escape from their unhappy marriages and meet up to keep an illicit rendezvous - which they have been doing once a month, for the past quarter of a century, at Coney Island.
The hidden, stolen moments are normally their only nourishment. But when they get caught in the middle of an angry snowstorm, the out-of-season resort begins to feel more and more like the edge of the world.
And their lives, suddenly, are about to change – with news of serious illness on one side, and a move to the Midwest on the other. And so, after half a lifetime spent in secret, certain long-avoided facts need to be faced, consequences examined, decisions made, and – perhaps – chances finally taken.
From the author of Cat Person, the first short story to go viral, the book is a collection of satires about sex, dating and modern life. Which also happen to be horror stories.
Here are women at work, at home, on dates, at the doctor’s, with their families and with their friends. Here are women grappling with desire, punishment, guilt and anger.
These are stories that make you feel fascinated but repelled, scared but delighted, revolted but aroused.
