Named a "Must-Read New Book This Week" by Bustle Named One of "13 New Books to Get You Through the Week" by LitHub "[A] fast-paced debut novel.[that] asks what it really means for people to define themselves." --The New York Times Book Review "Gallagher writes meaningfully about the intergenerational impacts of addiction, abuse, and sexual violence." --Kirkus Reviews "Gallagher is at her best when conveying the vulnerable, yearning space between childhood and maturity. Gallagher perfectly captures a generation's dislocated vibe." -- Publishers Weekly "Ambitious." --Booklist "Dazzling. Who You Might Be is a brilliant, splintery coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures the nervous thrum of adolescence and the unnerving fragility of adulthood.

Gallagher is so acutely attuned to the lies (and secrets) we tell (and keep from) ourselves and others. It puts me in mind of Emma Cline and Rachel Kushner." --Peter Ho Davies, author of A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself "I read Who You Might Be with my heart beating at a different register because I knew I was in the presence of a writer who knows how to match an acrobatic and singular use of language to the density of human complexity. Gallagher enlivens worlds and characters with an observational eye and ear tuned to frequencies most of us don't see and hear." --Marisa Silver, author of The Mysteries and Mary Coin at a different register because I knew I was in the presence of a writer who knows how to match an acrobatic and singular use of language to the density of human complexity. Gallagher enlivens worlds and characters with an observational eye and ear tuned to frequencies most of us don't see and hear." --Marisa Silver, author of The Mysteries and Mary Coin at a different register because I knew I was in the presence of a writer who knows how to match an acrobatic and singular use of language to the density of human complexity.
