The Girls I've Been

Furious entertainment for fans of "One of Us Is Lying," soon to be available as a Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown from "Stranger Things." I clench my fingers—God, how long is this going to last? Two minutes? Five minutes? Rebecca, Samantha, Haley, Katie, Ashley—Nora must have been a lot of girls. She is the daughter of a con artist who, with her help, swindles clean criminals. At twelve, Nora manages to escape from this life. But five "normal" years later, the past catches up with her when she finds herself in the middle of a bank robbery with her best friends Wes (her ex) and Iris (her new love). The brutal gangsters expect no resistance. Nothing has prepared them for Nora—or the tricks she and her alter egos have in store. A subtle game of cat and mouse begins. This is a multi-faceted story: a high-tension thriller that will thrill you, a breathless escape story that keeps on hooking, and a multi-faceted coming-of-age novel with a cool, fascinating protagonist. "A gripping, explosive and compelling thriller," according to Kirkus Reviews, starred review.
