Eilidh Adair is good at showing up for everyone except herself. When she returns to work after a break she'd rather forget, she finds Sam - quietly persistent, unhurried, the kind of person who carries things for people without being asked. She finds herself wanting to let him, which is the most frightening thing she can think of. Told with warmth, honesty and a touch of dark humour, Hamsters Can't Blink is a love story about the small, ordinary moments that hold us together, and what happens when you finally let someone see the days you're least proud of. For anyone who has ever said I'm fine and meant something else entirely.
