\nSet across the blaze of on e suburban Ohio summer\, GIRL&rsquo\;S GIRL follows Mina\, a fifteen-year- old consumed by her relationship with her two best friends. After an unexp ected kiss\, the established dynamics of the trio quickly unravel\, and Mi na must confront the reality of her own desire. Loyalties shift and tensio ns simmer across the long days of this pivotal summer\, where the girls ha ve nowhere new to go and everything new to feel.
\nNarrated retrospe ctively by an older Mina\, GIRL&rsquo\;S GIRL treats the modern realities of girlhood as legitimate subjects for literary inquiry. Gossip\, makeup\, video games\, photo taking\, sleepovers and sexuality are explored as vit al threads in the web of intimacy and power imbalance navigated by its cha racters. Ultimately\, this sapphic coming-of-age suggests that loving one person changes the way we love everyone else\, including ourselves.
