Girl’s Girl

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A lustrous debut* and a sundrenched and dewy snapshot of modern girl culture set in the blaze of one suburban Midwest summer

Feldman brings an Austenian attentiveness to the foibles of suburban adolescence. . . . The pleasure ofGirls Girlis that it reveals the invisible jealousies, affections and gnawing needs lurking at the edge of so many seemingly trivial images of young womanhood.Sanjena Sathian,The New York Times Book Review*

Fifteen-year-old Minas whole world is her two best friends, but after an unexpected kiss, the established dynamics of their trio quickly unravel. Everything that was once shared openly, from clothes to secrets, now feels impossibly fragile. Loyalties shift and tensions simmer across the long days of this pivotal summer, where the girls have nowhere new to go and everything new to feel.

Looking back, an adult Mina traces the undercurrents of longing that shaped her first experience of desire. The rituals of girlhoodgossip, selfies, sleepovers, and videogamesbecome threads in a delicate, volatile web of intimacy, in which everything feels achingly fleeting and permanently etched. Loving one person, Mina learns, can change the way we love everyone elseincluding ourselves.
