## Description

Real, compulsive and intense: Cat Clarke is the queen of emotional suspense. 'Emotive, creepy AND funny. A quality page-turner' SARAH CROSSAN
'A new Cat Clarke novel is always something to celebrate and Girlhood could be her best yet' JUNO DAWSON
Harper has tried to forget the past and fit in at expensive boarding school Duncraggan Academy. Her new group of friends are tight; the kind of girls who Harper knows have her back. But Harper can't escape the guilt of her twin sister's Jenna's death, and her own part in it - and she knows no-one else will ever really understand. But new girl Kirsty seems to get Harper in ways she never expected. She has lost a sister too. Harper finally feels secure. She finally feels... loved. As if she can grow beyond the person she was when Jenna died. Then Kirsty's behaviour becomes more erratic. Why is her life a perfect mirror of Harper's? And why is she so obsessed with Harper's lost sister? Soon, Harper's closeness with Kirsty begins to threaten her other relationships, and her own sense of identity. How can Harper get back to the person she wants to be, and to the girls who mean the most to her?
A darkly compulsive story about love, death, and growing up under the shadow of grief.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 April 2026*

I’ve not read the book yet but I’m looking forward to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sad but great
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 August 2017*

I liked this book a lot especially all the twists and turns through between the friend group and it was sad to hear about the terrible things that had happened in Kirsty's and harpers lives. But I didn't like how it took so long to describe somethings but all together a good book.
