Moïra Fowley-Doyle is half-French, half-Irish and lives in Dublin
with her husband, their young daughter, and their old cat. Moïra's
French half likes red wine and dark books in which everybody dies.
Her Irish half likes tea and happy endings. Moïra started a PhD on
vampires in young adult fiction before concentrating on writing
young adult fiction with no vampires in it whatsoever. She wrote
her first novel at the age of eight, when she was told that if she
wrote a story about spiders she wouldn't be afraid of them anymore.
Moïra is still afraid of spiders, but has never stopped writing
stories.

we manipulate memories to fall in line with our present
narrative—the lies we tell ourselves to keep our brains safe and
happy. Cara’s narration brilliantly, sometimes brutally conveys the
unraveling of both Cara and her family . . . and the bittersweet
ending will haunt readers as much it does Cara."—BCCB
