Penguin Random House staffer, Elizabeth, highly recommends The Girls and says:

“During the violent end of the 1960s, lonely teenager Evie Boyd becomes mesmerized with an older girl, and, desperate to be accepted, she is drawn into the circle of a soon-to-be infamous cult. Deftly capturing girlhood, peer pressure, and female friendship, Emma Cline’s debut is a wholly original coming-of-age story that will appeal to fans of The Virgin Suicides and A Visit from the Goon Squad.”
