Girl's Girl

“An extraordinary book about friendships, first lust, and other quiet terrors . . . Full of longing and many different kinds of love.”—Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face “Girl’s Girl is the novel I’ve been waiting for, the one that proves the project of literature is not over. New and profound depths of the heart are waiting to be captured by the written word, and Sonia Feldman is unafraid to reach for them. She does so beautifully, generously, and on every single page.”—Maggie Thrash, author of Rainbow Black “Mothers, friends, and lovers; friends that are maybe also lovers; lovers who might not be able to be friends again—Girl’s Girl covers some of the richest ground of girlhood but also of being alive: the complexity and yearning, the fear and hunger, the thrill and delicacy of first love. Sonia Feldman has crafted a stunningly precise and tender novel, one whose characters you’ll fall in love with and whose discoveries and yearnings will thrum inside of you as they unfurl.”—Lynn Steger Strong, author of The Float Test “Girl’s Girl is a vibrant shot of summer, a heated and tender story about girlhood, friendship, crushes, and love. Sonia Feldman has penned an essential antidote to an absurd world and a story that feels like the promise of a friendship bracelet. With effervescence and sharp wit reminiscent of Greta Gerwig and Elena Ferrante, this debut will utterly consume you.”—Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb “Poignant, funny—an intoxicating debut about girls teetering on the edge of womanhood that will hook you from the first page until the gorgeous and moving final lines”—Kristin Koval, author of Penitence “[Drops] readers deep into the psyche of a teenage girl. Mina’s conflicting emotions and thoughts are rendered in beautiful prose, which limns the complexities of girlhood friendships—and just how fraught they can be—with sensitivity and piercing insight.”—Booklist
