The next searing and groundbreaking queer young adult novel from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Courtney Summers, already hailed as...
"A stirring, thought-provoking thriller."—Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push
"A stunner."—Kate Elizabeth Russell, New York Times bestselling author of My Dark Vanessa
"Powerful."—Angeline Boulley, #1 New York Times bestselling and Printz Award-winning author of Firekeeper's Daughter
When sixteen-year-old Georgia Avis discovers the dead body of thirteen-year-old Ashley James, she teams up with Ashley's older sister, Nora, to find and bring the killer to justice before he strikes again. But their investigation throws Georgia into a world of unimaginable privilege and wealth, without conscience or consequence, and as Ashley's killer closes in, Georgia will discover when money, power and beauty rule, it might not be a matter of who is guilty—but who is guiltiest.
A spiritual successor to the breakout hit Sadie, I'm the Girl is a bold and masterful account of how one young woman feels in her body as she struggles to navigate a deadly and predatory power structure while asking listeners one question: if this is the way the world is, do you accept it?
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

      Starred review from August 8, 2022
      Summers (Project X) attentively outlines harsh realities of bodily autonomy, predatory behavior, and sexual violence in this emotionally raw and brutally captivating novel. Georgia Avis, 16, wants to be an Aspera girl, one of the beautiful young women who works at a members-only mountainside resort. While biking to Aspera, hoping to persuade them to hire her, she’s knocked unconscious in a hit-and-run and, when she comes to, finds her bike and bag missing. Injured, she stumbles upon the corpse of 13-year-old Ashley James, who was sexually assaulted before her death. When George makes it to Aspera, the owners take her under their wing, giving her an admin job; while she’s disappointed to not be an Aspera girl, it’s implied that if she does well, she can move up. At Aspera, she befriends Ashley’s older sister, Nora, and helps her dig into the mystery of Ashley’s assault and death even as George delves deeper into the sinister adult world of glitz and glamour she’s longed for. Summers expertly weaves together drama, mystery, and romance via George’s guileless narration for an intense look into one girl’s wish to be seen as mature, and the powers that manipulate her, in this powerful, ultimately hopeful performance. Characters read as white. Ages 13–up. Agent: Faye Bender, Book Group.

      Narrator Lori Prince pulls listeners into the complicated world of teenagers with her portrayal of 16-year-old Georgia Avis, who longs to escape poverty and sees her beauty and sexuality as her ticket out. She becomes an employee at Aspera, a lodge for the wealthy and privileged, where she becomes both predator and prey. When Georgia discovers the raped and beaten corpse of 13-year-old Ashley James, she joins Ashley's sister, Nora, in a mission to uncover the murderer. Prince is at her best delivering teenage voices and emotions. Each adult has a unique voice that perfectly matches their character--from the sultry temptress to the grieving police officer and the obsequious assistant. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
