Fiadh O’Sullivan is sixteen, loud, stubborn, and far too soft-hearted for her own good. Between camogie practice, TY projects, and her tight-knit group of friends, life feels comfortably chaotic until Conor Walsh, her brother’s best friend, starts showing up in the edges of her world a little too often.
He’s funny, steady, kind in ways she never noticed before, and completely off-limits.
What follows isn’t a sudden romance, but a slow, messy drift where teasing turns to tenderness, friendship becomes something unspoken, and Fiadh starts seeing her ordinary Dublin days through new eyes. But when rumours spark and loyalties crack, the people she loves most are the ones who could lose the most.
As seasons shift from rain to summer heat, Fiadh must learn who she is outside of what everyone a sister, a friend, a player, a girl discovering what love really means when it’s tangled up with fear, forgiveness, and growing up.
Funny, heartfelt, and unflinchingly honest, Even If It Rains is a story about first love, family, and the small moments that change everything. A reminder that some things, and some people, are worth trusting even when the sky won’t stop falling.
