The hit novel is set in Cork in 2010 and follows a student working at a bookstore when she meets James. Effervescent and insistently heterosexual, James invites Rachel to be his roommate, and the two begin a friendship that changes the course of their lives forever. When Rachel admits to a huge crush on her married professor, Dr. Fred Byrne, James helps her devise a launch for his new book at the store, with the hope that she might seduce him afterwards. O’Donoghue is adapting her book for the small screen.
