About this ebook
A brutal and illuminating thriller that explores the dark underbelly of wealth and power
Named a Best Book of the Year by BuzzFeed, CrimeReads, Indigo, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, and Shelf Awareness, with 4 starred reviews, I'm the Girl is an "emotionally raw and brutally captivating" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) queer coming-of-age thriller from bestselling and award-winning author Courtney Summers. Loosely based on the Epstein case, it's "not for the faint of heart" (The New York Times).
Sixteen-year-old Georgia Avis wants everything she knows she deserves, but poverty has kept it out of reach. When she finds the body of thirteen-year-old Ashley James, Georgia teams up with Ashley's sister Nora to find the killer, and is thrown into a glittering world of unimaginable privilege. But behind every dream lurks a nightmare, and Georgia must reconcile her desires with what it takes to survive. As the killer closes in and their feelings grow, Georgia and Nora discover that when money, power, and beauty rule, it's not always about who is guilty, but who is guiltiest—and the only thing that might save them is each other.
I'm the Girl is a gritty, dark, and illuminating account of one young woman's struggle to navigate a deadly and predatory power structure, asking readers: if this is the way the world is, do you accept it?
