Mandy’s car is found at the base of a cliff and she is presumed dead.īut after the funeral, Deena finds a letter from Mandy stuck in her front gate, surrounded by long, pale hairs. On Deena’s seventeenth birthday, her older sister, Mandy, disappears, shortly after Deena accidentally comes out to her other sister/mother figure, Rachel, and her incredibly disapproving nightmare of a father. Rumors have started floating around Deena’s Dublin high school that she’s a lesbian (the real trouble is that the rumors are absolutely true). This novel will sink its teeth into you and you won’t want it to let go.ĭenna, the protagonist of All the Bad Apples, comes from a very uptight, controlling Irish family that doesn’t take kindly to any abnormalities. I read All the Bad Apples in two sittings–over a forgotten, rapidly cooling latte and later, on a boat in the Green River in eastern Utah, so engrossed that I barely noticed the red cliffs. ‘All the Bad Apples’ by Moïra Fowley-Doyle
