I’m the Girl by Courtney Summers follows Georgia, an aspiring model and girl desperate to become an Aspera girl. When she stumbles across the body of a girl her age, her and the girls sister must unravel her death, and stop it from happening again.
This is one of those books that tries to misdirect you the entire time, but is exactly what you suspect. I actually was excited for a big twist, and I just feel letdown.
Georgia was meant to be a likeable main character I’m sure, but I just found myself annoyed by her. There’s a murderer running around and she just ignores all warning sides. She’s a teenager, so that’s definitely fair.
I thought this was YA, but there is a steamy scene in it.
I liked Courtney’s writing style, I just feel like the plot wasn’t the strongest or most unique.
Graphic: Drug use and Murder
Moderate: Drug use, Rape, Suicide, and Drug abuse
