| book description |
‘Dark, timely and thought-provoking’ THE SUN ‘Set to be a big summer hit’ THE INDEPENDENT ‘A gripping read that is visceral and raw. Buy it’ GLAMOUR The last time Rachel saw the girls, they were teenagers island-hopping in Greece: making friends, finding love. One golden summer. Now in her thirties, she’s never been able to forget the man she fell in love with back then. Even though he is almost twenty years older than her. Even though she hasn’t seen him since and she’s now married to someone else. And when she crosses paths with one of the girls, she’s confronted with a truth that’s much darker than she ever realized. What really happened to them all that summer? What if everything she remembers is a lie? ********** For fans of GIRL A, MY DARK VANESSA and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, The Girls of Summer is a bold compulsive exploration of sex, power and consent, and what happens when we revisit the past with rose-tinted glasses. 'Reminiscent of HBO's hit The White Lotus... The obvious read-alike is My Dark Vanessa' BOOKLIST 'Packs an incredible punch' THE TIMES 'Beautifully written, transportive, and thought-provoking' LUCY CLARKE, author of THE CASTAWAYS 'A mesmerising, unsettling and gripping debut' CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD, author of RUN TIME *********** Readers are talking about THE GIRLS OF SUMMER: * 'A superb debut that will linger with you for a long time after you have finished it. A powerful and resonating read.' * * * * * * 'Beautifully written with a tense, emotive plot' * * * * * * 'An excellent debut. Raw, real, and gut-wrenchingly familiar' * * * * * * 'Wow wow wow! It's one of those stories that stays with you' * * * * * * 'The writing is buttery smooth and brilliant' * * * * * * 'I couldn't put this book down, it should be added to everyone's reading list' * * * * * * 'Shocking, familiar, emotional, and raw. Just phenomenal' * * * * *
