Girls Our Age (2026)
Phoebe Thompson
"Nostalgic, aching, and sharply observed, Girls Our Age is a story about the friendships that shape us, the lives we think everyone else is living, and the quiet heartbreak of realizing we only ever see the polished version. With tender precision, Phoebe Thompson reminds us that girlhood never really leaves us and that the people who knew us then often know us best now."
