Bloomsbury presents Not Like Other Girls by Meredith Adamo, read by Georgina Sadler and Meredith Adamo.

“Powerful, brilliantly plotted, voicey, gripping, beautiful, heart-wrenching, hilarious . . . Read this book.” —Liz Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Agathas

When Jo-Lynn Kirby ‘s former best friend—pretty, nice Maddie Price—comes to her claiming to be in trouble, Jo assumes it's some kind of joke. After all, Jo has been an outcast ever since her nude photos were leaked—and since everyone decided she deserved it. There’s no way Maddie would actually come to her for help.

But then Maddie is gone.

Everyone is quick to write off Maddie as a runaway, but Jo can’t shake the feeling there's more to the story. To find out the truth, Jo needs to get back in with the people who left her behind—and the only way back in is through Hudson Harper-Moore. An old fling of Jo’s with his own reasons for wanting to find Maddie, Hudson hatches a fake dating scheme to get Jo back into their clique. But being back on the inside means Jo must confront everything she’d rather forget: the boys who betrayed her, the whispers that she had it coming, and the secrets that tore her and Maddie apart. As Jo digs deeper into Maddie’s disappearance, she’s left to wonder who she’s really searching for: Maddie, or the girl she used to be.

Not Like Other Girls is a stunning debut that takes a hard look at how we treat young women and their trauma, through the lens of a missing girl and a girl trying to find herself again.©2024 Meredith Adamo (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

To my fellow 30 year olds who were once wild teenagers and can't seem to put all the words to what they experienced back then…. This book is for you.

Meredith Adamo accurately captured the teenage mind and the lengths they will go to for acceptance, love, and friendship. Although the story feels like a teenage mystery at the surface, Meredith slowly weaves a deeper narrative that will leave your heart hurting and hopefully healing along with the main character.
