Reviews
A clever two-hander deftly showing there are two sides to every story and the truth lies somewhere in between. An assured, confident debut that kept me turning pages to find out what would happen - truly wonderful storytelling.
A White Lotus-style frenemy implosion thriller... but with Brit girls from the nineties. Complete with all the Discmans, Wonderbras, landline calls and fake ID nods that you would hope for. You won't be able to put it down!
A Girl's Girl is a promising debut from a talented new writer and dives deep into how old school wounds can destroy lives later on.
