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

Summers' latest masterful thriller takes on the world of wealth and privilege to examine questions of power, predatory behavior, and, ultimately, complicity, and agency... a heartbreaking, brutal, and devastatingly realistic novel. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

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 masterfully written account of how one young woman feels in her body as she struggles to navigate a deadly and predatory power structure while asking readers one question: if this is the way the world is, do you accept it?
