Summary

Competition. Perfection. Destruction. 

A dangerous obsession.

Martina wants to be the best gymnast in the world. But so does everyone around her.

A tournament with a difference

During one week of intense competition, Martina and her teammates are tested to the limit, and any sign of weakness can quickly spell the end.

A murder in the night.

By the end of the week, one of the gymnasts will be dead. Every girl will do anything to win…but at what cost?

Critic reviews

"A tight, frightening story of friendship, rivalry and obsession, told in sparse and beautiful prose. Tense as the space between the uneven bars." (Abigail Dean, author of Girl A)

The Girls Are Good is a compelling, harrowing and ultimately devastating portrayal of the horrors of being a teenager in the world of competitive gymnastics. Brilliantly observed, beautifully written—it’s quite simply unforgettable.” (Alex Michaelides, author of The Patient)

‘What a book! A stunning and revealing look the world of elite gymnastics. An unforgettable debut." (Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones)
