Deep Cuts (2024)
Holly Brickley
"Tender as a ballad and pleasurable as a pop song, Deep Cuts is both a romp into the indie sleaze era of the early aughts and a timeless love story."

I Meant It Once (2023)
Kate Doyle
"I Meant It Once explores longing, belonging and the big emotions that can make us feel small with unusual elegance and depth."

The God of Good Looks (2023)
Breanne Mc Ivor
"A dazzling delight of a debut. The God of Good Looks is a captivating portrait of contemporary Trinidadian culture, a canny exploration of makeup's power as artifice and art, and a tender celebration of unexpected connections and the human need to love and be loved. I gasped, I laughed, I cried - I didn't want it to end!"
