In the article, which you can read in full here, Leandra Beabout chooses 21 page-turners you’ll want to lose yourself in this summer. Of The It Girl, Beabout writes:

“In The It Girl, best-selling author Ruth Ware tackles an Oxford campus whodunit. A decade after the crime, Hannah Jones has finally moved on from the murder of her sharp-tongued college friend April. But when a journalist shows up with clues that suggest the wrong man went to jail, Hannah reconnects with her college crew to figure out what happened. And as in most Ruth Ware novels, secrets are revealed as a dangerous game begins.”

The It Girl will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. Pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
