Publisher Description
'Dark, funny and wild.'
- Chloe Ashby, author of WET PAINT
'Girlcrush is a funny, filthy and furious exploration of sexuality, identity and the expectations on us all. It's a rare combination - a page turner with a message.'
- Daisy Buchanan
'It feels like a ball of energy coming right for you. I loved this debut.' - Emma Gannon
GIRLCRUSH is a dark feminist retelling of Jekyll & Hyde by bestselling author Florence Given.
In Given's debut novel, we follow Eartha on a wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration as she commences life as an openly bisexual woman whilst also becoming a viral sensation on Wonderland, a social media app where people project their dream selves online.
The distance between her online and offline self grows further and further apart until something dark happens that leads her into total self-destruction, forcing Eartha to make a choice; which version of herself should she kill off?

Speechless💖
I have never been so drawn to a book. I cannot grasp how much I feel like Floss wrote a poem for me and published it to the world. I wish everyone reads this book. Floss has a beautiful creative mind that is just being hidden from the rest of the world that does not know of her. Her words are poetry from a real human being that speaks up about what everyone is afraid to admit or about the reality behind the lies we’ve been taught throughout the generations and standards. I am inspired by all that I’ve been learning, and taking in the moments in my own journey. Thank you for publishing, I hope for more that I can drown myself in and soak all of the lessons in like a sponge.
If car crash tv was an audio book…
Bottom line up front: this book is terrible. It’s melodramatic, self obsessed, cliche and clumsily written with teenage level prose. Which is a shame because I had high hopes, having been a fan of ‘Women Don’t Owe You Pretty’. But this really is absolute drivel.
That being said, a bit like trashy tv, it was pretty fun to listen to, if only to marvel at how much worse it got page by page.
If you’re looking for a well written literary masterpiece, this is not it. If you’re looking for an over the top coming out book that takes itself way too seriously and reads like a GCSE attempt at English literature, et voila.
