The Girls is Emma Cline's debut novel about a teenage girl drawn into a Manson-like cult in late 1960s California. Evie Boyd, a lonely 14-year-old, is captivated by a group of girls she sees in a park and especially by Suzanne, their leader. She joins them at a run-down ranch, where they follow a charismatic man named Russell. Decades later, the middle-aged Evie looks back on that summer and the violence it led to.
