You go home to your mother, if you're lucky enough still to have one. Saoirse Maher wouldn't recommend it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeaving home wasn't supposed to be temporary. But after her five-year relationship goes south, Saoirse realises she's out of options. And so she finds herself trudging back to her mother Máire's house, hidden up a side road on the outskirts of Irish civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut just as Saoirse arrives reluctantly back home, everyone else seems to be moving on. Fortunately, she's got parties, drugs, and an entirely-healthy-not-problematic-at-all-thanks relationship with Charlie to distract her. Don't look too closely and it's all fine. Saoirse is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExcept somehow, her old coping mechanisms aren't cutting it this time around. Saoirse might finally have to confront the fear she's been running from for so long: how can you make peace with the worst parts of yourself when you're afraid that the worst of yourself is all that you are?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSugartown\u003c\/em\u003e by Caragh Maxwell explores these themes in a powerful narrative filled with raw emotion and reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48022058369260,"sku":"9781836431015","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781836431015-sugartown.jpg?v=1785287707","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sugartown-by-caragh-maxwell-9781836431015","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
