Sarah Crossan
A provocative, tender and darkly funny novel that explores the painful truths of modern-day connection, and all the complicated and unexpected forms that love can take in a lifetime.

'Funny and dark. Tender and tough. Uncanny and relatable' Erin Kelly
Imagine discovering an animatronic sex doll hidden in the garage. What would you do?
Dolores initially does nothing. She assumes the doll belongs to her husband, David, and their relationship is already strained. They’re not young, they’re not old; they have no children, they keep up with the markers of being middle class and Dolores is well versed in keeping men’s secrets.
But then, Dolores and Zoey start to talk ...What surfaces runs deeper than Dolores could have ever expected, with consequences for all of the relationships in her life, especially her relationship to herself.
Hey, Zoey is a propulsive story of love, family, and trauma in our tech-buffered age of alienation, as strange as it is familiar.

Critic reviews
'Highly inventive, astute and funny ... A thought-provoking reflection on loneliness, love and the search for connection'
Hilarious … Crossan’s deadpan style is bone-dry, and Dolores’s conversations with Zoey are the best bits of all
Deep, relatable, depressing, and darkly funny ... Crossan has a knack for capturing utterly normal conversations and trains of thought in ways that are arresting ... Propelled by its style and by the beauty of its prose … Keeps the reader gripped until the last page … It is a deep exploration of the intricacies of human connections and intimacy, as well as an examination of trauma (especially childhood trauma) and its ability to influence our lives, even if we are determined not to let it do so
This novel is as rip-roaring as it is thought provoking
'A singular writer with her own style and conviction ... Thought-provoking ... How do we write about trauma? Ask Sarah Crossan'
Dark humour and offbeat tenderness enhance the intense readability of a book that has plenty to say about contemporary intimacy
Funny and dark. Tender and tough. Uncanny and relatable. Hey, Zoey is a searing novel about true intimacy and the things humans will do to protect themselves from it. You’ve never read anything quite like it, and only Sarah Crossan could have written it (ERIN KELLY, million-copy bestselling author of The Skeleton Key and Watch Her Fall)

Hey, Zoey is unique, refreshing and revelatory. Sarah Crossan excels at subtle subversion, marrying delicious dark wit with deep empathy to produce work that reads the zeitgeist perfectly. This stylish, provocative novel isn’t afraid to push the bruise! (HELEN CULLEN, author of The Truth Must Dazzle Gradually)
This darkly funny modern love story had me gripped all the way from its compelling opening to its unexpectedly moving and worrying conclusion. Hey, Zoey offers a sharp and sometimes shocking exploration of relationships between friends, lovers and family. It’s intriguing, fresh, and satisfyingly complex; it makes you think, and it makes you feel (LESLEY GLAISTER, author of Little Egypt)
