About this listen

 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 Poetry 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.

PureWow’s 7 Books We Can’t Wait to Read in November

“[A] sweet, coming-of-age, debut novel following the first queer love story of two undergrads, set in Ireland and Scotland.” –Nylon

"The swooning swirl of infatuation is well captured in Taylor’s poetically tinged prose.” –The Times (UK)

“A poignant love story [that] explores the emotional complexities of first love and how what we carry into relationships can lift us up and weigh us down.” –Shondaland

“[A] delicate and consuming coming-of-age tale.” –PopSugar

“[A] rich, intimate queer coming-of-age story…An emotionally intelligent storyline familiar to anyone who has experienced the often painful road toward self-discovery and young love.” –Pride Source

“Taylor weaves in an emotionally intelligent storyline familiar to anyone who has experienced the often painful road toward self-discovery and young love.” –Q Salt Lake Magazine

"Taylor’s debut blends the joy of Aisling and Maya’s love story with the pain of Aisling’s past. The communication issues that plague the couple’s relationship are realistic, and readers will care deeply about both characters and their emotional journeys.

This book is SO immersive and I raced through it in two days. Taylor's vividly descriptive language made me feel as if I was seeing and experiencing the world through Aisling and Maya's eyes - almost as if I was there with them. The arc of the love story between Aisling and Maya is lyrically explored and set against the atmospheric backdrops of County Clare, Edinburgh, and London. The two girls meet at University in Edinburgh, and in spite of their very different backgrounds there's an immediate attraction and spark. The question I found myself pondering throughout the book was 'can they make the relationship work, given how different their experiences of relationship and love have been in their respective families?' Amongst others things, the book is an intriguing exploration of what forms us and how our experiences shape how we relate to one another and love one another. The two actors in the audio book give a pitch-perfect rendition of Aisling and Maya. They really bring them alive. Watch out to for the surprising and intriguing twist at the end too! The language Taylor brings to the telling of the tale carries it beyond the usual 'young love' genre and elevates it to a rich literary experience. I highly recommend this book.
