PRAISE FOR SEPTEMBER GIRLS: “Eerie and desperately romantic, September Girls is a myth measured out in summer days, game shows, French fries and women’s magazines. September Girls is perfect for fans of the irreverent wit of Ned Vizzini and the seductive magic of fairy tales retold. Sam knows that if he is going to win her back, he'll have to learn the Girls' secret.īennett Madison, critically acclaimed author of The Blonde of the Joke, brings a mix of lyrical writing, psychologically complex characters, and sardonic humor to this young adult novel. But as they get closer, she pulls away without explanation. Sam falls for one of the Girls, DeeDee, and begins an unexpected summer romance. They only wear flats because heels make their feet bleed. But there's definitely something strange about the Girls. He's surrounded by beautiful blonde girls, and, better yet, they all seem inexplicably attracted to him. Whisked away by his father to an unusual beach town in the Outer Banks, Sam finds himself having the summer vacation most guys dream of. This imaginative and painfully honest book garnered five starred reviews, including one from ALA Booklist that proclaimed it "a rare and lovely novel, deserving of attention from discriminating readers." September Girls is a stunning coming-of-age novel about first loves, oblivious parents, sibling rivalries-and mermaids.
