Girl's Girl by Sonia Feldman

from $11.20
Hardcover:

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 of Girl’s Girl is 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 Mina is inseparable from her two closest friends until an unexpected kiss between them shifts the ground under all three. Over one pivotal Midwestern summer, loyalties bend, intimacies fray, and the easy closeness of girlhood starts to feel a lot more complicated.

Girl’s Girl moves through the small rituals that define being a teenage girl — the gossip, the sleepovers, the selfies, the late-night games — while an adult Mina looks back and makes sense of a summer that quietly rewired how she loves everyone, including herself.

A national bestseller and a striking debut, Girl’s Girl captures first desire with unusual precision, and the particular ache of watching a friendship change shape before you’re ready to let it.
