A Girl Like Us

“A real page-turner…In this dysfunctional-family saga, McLoughlin explores complex familial dynamics and the impact of trauma through a twisty plot reminiscent of Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ YA thriller The Inheritance Games.” – Booklist“Readers will have fun…With its fast-paced intriguing prose, this story filled with complicated family dynamics à la Saltburn or Succession, coupled with the isolation of a Ruth Ware novel or Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, will appeal to mystery/thriller lovers.” – Library Journal“A glittering mix of Knives Out, Girl, Interrupted, and reality TV in the early aughts, A Girl Like Us is filled with secrets, intrigue, backstabbing characters, and a scrappy heroine you can’t help but root for. Delicious!” – Sara Shepard, #1 bestselling author“A delicious thriller about family secrets, old money, and the ruthless wild west of early ‘00s reality stardom, A Girl Like Us is a crackling, perfectly-paced delight. Anna Sophia McLoughlin masterfully unspools a nail-biting plot against a backdrop of old money, new fame, and the juicy secrets that undergird both.” – Jessie Gaynor, author of The Glow“Anna Sophia McLoughlin’s A Girl Like Us is the best kind of read, full of beautiful, terrible rich people, criminals and con artists and celebrities, and featuring a heroine we can all get behind. Sharp, clever, juicy and incredibly fun, this book is one part inheritance game, one part whodunnit, and every page an absolute banger. If you’re looking for a great read, here it is.” – Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author“Smart, sly, and perfectly suited for the cultural moment. Readers will devour this thriller based around the secrets high-profile people keep…for some, to protect their wealth. For others, to survive.” – Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of Malice House“This one goes out to the gold diggers! Dripping with snark, jewels, and unrepentant party girls, A Girl Like Us is the perfect mashup of The Inheritance Games and Succession, with a dash of Stone Cold Fox. Pitting a scrappy TV star against her old-money in-laws, this fast-paced, sexy, serpentine mystery charts the ways money makes the world go round, pulling off the triumphant achievement of both critiquing and reveling in the pleasures of the one-percent, equal parts take-down and gossipy drama all the way until its jaw-dropping ending. Fans of rich people behaving badly will gobble this up.” – Ashley Winstead, bestselling author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour“A Girl Like Us is a captivating, suspenseful tale of marriage, murder, and madness. Anna Sophia McLoughlin crafts a layered, atmospheric look at celebrity, wealth, and vulnerability–and what happens when those closest to us take advantage of it. I didn’t want it to end, but I desperately needed to keep reading!” – Clémence Michallon, internationally bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant“A deliciously-addictive page turner full of billionaires behaving badly, tantalizing secrets, and jaw-dropping reveals. Juicy as hell.” – Nadine Jolie Courtney, author of All-American Muslim Girl“Fellow Elder Millennials prepare to binge A Girl Like Us in all its Succession meets 2008 glory. From reality star to billionaire wife, Maya is dropped into her own inheritance games, and readers will devour the dark secrets and twisted lies that are as big as the bank account at stake.” – Vanessa Lillie, USA Today bestselling author of Blood Sisters“Twisty, glamorous, and prickling with tension from the very first page, A Girl Like Us was everything I needed to fill the Succession-sized hole in my heart. The ending left me speechless, and I can’t wait to see what Anna Sophia McLoughlin does next.” – Sara Ochs, author of The Resort
