Description
It's 2012 and twenty-year-old Theo has the world at her feet. Freshly arrived in New York City from Britain for a summer internship at a Manhattan museum, the intoxicating scent of opportunity and adventure percolates through the air of this enrapturing city. For her stay in the Big Apple, she will be in 'The Webster', New York's last women's home located in the heart of SoHo.
There she will meet MK, an opinionated but inexperienced fellow Brit, the ever-caustic Magda and the enigmatically unknowable and unendingly alluring Sylvie, whose high-flying job in the fashion industry and knowledge of the who's who of New York's party scene can't help but entice wide-eyed Theo.
But in the slippery, dog-eat-dog world of the Greatest City on Earth, is it ever really possible to know anyone's true intentions? Sucked further and further into the Sylvie's orbit and her world of glamour and excess, whilst simultaneously witnessing the indelible class divisions of The Webster, this summer will prove an unforgettable education to naive Theo - on manipulation, choice and desire.
A fast-paced, twisting novel of ever-shifting loyalties Girls! Girls! Girls! calls into question everything we hold true about self-determination and personal choice in a subversive yet instantly recognisable narrative.
