A dark and unsettling thriller, I’m the Girl is a bold exploration of power, privilege, and survival in a world that preys on the vulnerable.
Sixteen-year-old Georgia Avis dreams of working at Aspera, an exclusive resort for the wealthy elite. When the resort’s owner tells her she’s beautiful, she believes it’s her ticket out of poverty. But her world is shattered when she discovers the body of 13-year-old Ashley James near the resort’s grounds. Soon, Georgia is drawn into a dangerous world where beauty is currency and nothing is what it seems.
As she teams up with Ashley’s sister, Nora, to uncover the truth, Georgia finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, lies, and manipulation. But as she learns to navigate the dangerous game being played around her, she starts to question her own choices.
Courtney Summers masterfully blends suspense with social commentary, creating a thriller that is as thought-provoking as it is gripping. The themes are heavy, and this is definitely not a light YA read—it leans more toward new adult fiction. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, morally complex mystery, this one delivers.
