On September 13, her tenth book, “I’m the Girl,” will hit shelves. Inspired by the Epstein trial and other instances of abuse, this book is about power, agency, identity, and our need for love and acceptance. It is not an easy read. It will make you uncomfortable. It should make you uncomfortable.
I wish I had had “I’m the Girl” when I was in my teens, but I am so incredibly glad it exists today and hope it provokes honest and necessary conversations amongst teens and the trusted adults in their lives despite - and because of - that discomfort.
📚 “I’m the Girl” by Courtney Summers / Ages 14 & up / Available 9/13 from Wednesday Books

blueeyedshook's review against another edition
But what I do know is that this is not a book I would recommend a teen. And the point of the book is to get an important message across to teens. But instead of teaching a valuable lesson and imparting a message, because of Georgia’s naïveté I feel like the message is more harmful.
It is also just a painful, disturbing book to read. Like make me physically ill. And I can only count a handful of books that have done that to me.
I just think it’s a bit too gritty and graphic for YA.
