    Louise O'Neill's new book, Almost Love, is out now. Buy it here. Asking For It, the play, is coming to the Abbey Theatre. Details. Louise is on Twitter, so go mad. You can also read Louise's columns in the Irish Examiner – you don't need to pay, but you do need to sign up for an account (it's worth it; they send a handy daily news update which is making me feel 10% more in touch with the world).

    Meg Wolitzer's The Wife is amazing. Highly recommend reading it – you can buy it here. The piece I wrote that got a big backlash which surprised Louise was, actually, my piece on Louise Thompson's Body Positive. And the piece on kids, social media and Snapchat.
