'Extraordinary' Naoise Dolan
'Seriously good' Louise Nealon

Dublin student life is ending for Sophie and her friends. They've got everything figured out, and Sophie feels left behind as they all start to go their separate ways. Then, at a party, what was already unstable completely falls apart and Sophie finds herself obsessively scrolling social media, waiting for something (anything) to happen.

None of This Is Serious is about the uncertainty and absurdity of being alive today. It's about balancing the real world with the online, and the vulnerabilities in yourself, your relationships, your body. At its heart, this is a novel about the friendships strong enough to withstand anything.

"Edgy . . . [Prasifka] has a painfully raw and acute gift for catching the way things are" - * Sunday Times *

"Fortunately, [Prasifka] doesn't need any sprinkling of Rooney's fairy dust; she makes her own magic. In the seriously good None of This is Serious, the 26-year-old author conveys what it's like to be a young woman today navigating life in Dublin and online . . . She is an astute observer of the social dynamics of her generation" - * Irish Times *

"A beautifully written original take on how we're all guilty of taking refuge online as the world around us becomes increasingly confusing" - * Stylist, Fiction Books You Can't Miss in 2022 *

"[A] funny, endearingly heartfelt debut" - * Daily Mail *

"As we adapt to our increasingly online lives, Catherine Prasifka's debut is the antidote we never knew we needed. We meet Sophie, Prasifka's ultra-relatable protagonist, at a precarious time in her life: leaving university. What happens next is a worthy reminder that Instagram /= reality" - * Glamour, Best Books of 2022 *
