'Situationships' and the ambiguity surrounding queer relationships, with Naoise Dolan

Summary: This week, we're joined by bestselling novelist Naoise Dolan to discuss her debut book, Exciting Times. The duo talk about the two very different central relationships in Naoise's novel and how ambiguity characterises them both in very different ways. When does a push-pull dynamic between two people become toxic? And are we overusing that word when we describe romantic relationships? The pair also discuss why female novelists are almost always asked if their work is biographical, particularly when it covers sex and relationships.
