SOMETHING ABOUT HER
Moving between Ireland, Scotland, and London, Something About Her is a heartfelt and delicately crafted debut novel about two young women who become entangled in one another and embark on a surprising journey of self-discovery and modern love.
Aisling and Maya's connection is unexpected. Maya has recently returned to the University of Edinburgh for her second year, confident in her place there and in her first proper relationship with her childhood best friend, Ethan. Finally, she is one of them, those happy couples, self-satisfied in the knowledge that they are one half of something solid.
Aisling is a first-year student from Ireland, ready to leave her controlling family behind. But despite the distance, she still feels claustrophobic, still feels watched. Reeling from her break-up with her ex-girlfriend, she struggles to make friends and finds herself isolated. That is, until Aisling joins the Writers Society. That's where she meets Maya, and everything changes.
Moving between Ireland, Scotland, and London, Something About Her is a story about the fragility and transformative power of first love. With vivid insight and tenderness, it exposes the fear, hope, and longing that can consume us, particularly when there's so much you still don't know about love, about life, and about yourself.
For readers of timely upmarket fiction that explores modern life and relationships, and for fans of Sally Rooney, Emma Cline, Lily King, Naoise Dolan, Dolly Alderton, Andre Aciman, Brandon Taylor, and Nina LaCour.
Clementine Taylor grew up in Oxford, England. After school, she completed her undergraduate degree in Theology and Religion, where she spent time acting and travelled on tour to Edinburgh, London, and Japan. She holds a Master's degree in Gender Studies from Cambridge University, during which her love of writing fiction blossomed, and is currently studying for a doctorate at Oxford University. SOMETHING ABOUT HER is her debut novel.
