‘Phelan’s debut is soaked in sin and shame, tracing unreliable narrator Mickey as she navigates this glitzy world. A fast and dizzying read for fans of Ellery Lloyd’s People Like Her (2021), with shades of Kate Elizabeth Russell’s My Dark Vanessa (2020).’ –Booklist
‘Hayley Phelan’s LIKE ME is whip smart and savage. Equal parts thriller and critique, this is an adrenaline shot of a novel.’ – Katie Kitamura, author of A Sepratation
‘LIKE ME by Hayley Phelan reads like bot a harrowing portrayal of addiction and a smart, razor-sharp portrait of the Instagram age. Completely absorbing, deeply uncomfortable and impressively original, Phelan’s poignant novel of obsession, depression, sexuality and identity will change how you think of the time we’re living in.’ – Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push
