Synopsis

'Dark, funny and wild.'
- Chloe Ashby, author of WET PAINT

'Girlcrush is a funny, filthy and furious exploration of sexuality, identity and the expectations on us all. It's a rare combination - a page turner with a message.'
- Daisy Buchanan

'It feels like a ball of energy coming right for you. I loved this debut.' - Emma Gannon

GIRLCRUSH is a dark feminist retelling of Jekyll & Hyde by bestselling author Florence Given.

In Given's debut novel, we follow Eartha on a wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration as she commences life as an openly bisexual woman whilst also becoming a viral sensation on Wonderland, a social media app where people project their dream selves online.

The distance between her online and offline self grows further and further apart until something dark happens that leads her into total self-destruction, forcing Eartha to make a choice; which version of herself should she kill off?

Goodreads review by Meike on February 26, 2023

Wow, this was ... crude! "Girlcrush" somehow attempts to attack the binary nature of the internet, a.k.a. the lack of nuance, by presenting stock characters going through the motions of web celebrity in a very didactic way.

Goodreads review by Jackie on August 26, 2022

I feel like the only way to talk about this book is by breaking it up between the first half and the second half because they are SO different. I adored the first half of it. Couldn’t get enough of it. It was a hot mess and I loved that about it. Very raw, very relatable. I liked the flow of it. Ther......more

This book had so much promise but it didn't deliver as tried to have multiple plotlines and topics but sadly became so thin but can see what the author was trying but did like the dark satire on social media though.......more

This was not what I was expecting it would be... Girlcrush is an exploration of the boundaries, or lack of boundaries, when it comes to the internet, more specifically from Wonderland, the stand-in for Instagram. It focuses on Eartha, a woman who is in a toxic relationship with a man and, after break......more
