Promising Young Woman meets High Fidelity in the dark and twisty new thriller from the bestselling author of The Sunday Girl, The Strangers We Know and The Paris Affair. A bad day at work. A drunken night. A rogue Instagram follow. That' s all it takes to ruin a life . . . The question is, whose life will be ruined? When Billie wakes up in a strange guy' s bed, her first thought is: what happened last night? She can' t even remember meeting him. And how the hell did she get to Coney Island? Then reality bites and the memories flood in - the reason she was in that bar, drinking to start with: today she' s going to get fired. Because yesterday her law firm lost a big case: Jane Delaney v Samuel Grange. And it looked like it was her fault. It wasn' t. Yet now Samuel Grange is free to drive off into the sunset in his stupid Porsche and do it all again to another woman. And all Billie can think is: What about the next girl? And the one after that? But there is nothing she can do to stop him. Unless. . . She could expose the truth about him on her own. Then everyone would see what he was really like. And he wouldn' t be able to do it again. The problem is, the only way to protect the next girl is to become the next girl. And, well, that could be a little risky . . . even deadly. Praise for The Next Girl ' Original. Breathtaking. Dangerous. The Next Girl is compulsory reading from an author at the top of her game. ' Loraine Peck, author of The Second Son ' It hooked me in and left me breathless. Set aside your weekend because you won' t be able to put it down. ' Petronella McGovern, author of The Liars ' Fierce, smart and packed with tension, The Next Girl grabbed me from the first page. ' Ashley Kalagian Blunt, author of Dark Mode
' A relentless and high-concept deep dive into the psyche of a dangerous young woman who is both vulnerable, loveable and scary as hell. Revealing her secrets with beat-perfect timing, Billie knows her fault-lines and her failings, but she has the nature of a soldier, someone you' d want in the trenches beside you during war. Ask yourself: If you had the skills and the courage, would you go all-in to take down bad guys? Set to a spectacular playlist, music is the spine of a thriller so propulsive I had to physically put the book down and walk away to coax my heart rate back to normal. Pip Drysdale always delivers heroines I recognise as though I' ve found a long-lost sister and The Next Girl is one fierce sister. Original. Breathtaking. Dangerous. The Next Girl is compulsory reading from an author at the top of her game. ' -- Loraine Peck * The Second Son * A wild rollercoaster of a ride where the twists keep coming and the stakes keep rising. It' s a complete adrenaline rush as Billie takes increasing risks to protect herself and other victims. This clever thriller questions power in relationships, technology and the justice system. It hooked me in and left me breathless. Set aside your weekend because you won' t be able to put it down. ' -- Petronella McGovern * The Liars * ' Reading Pip Drysdale is like having cocktails with your savviest girlfriend - you know the one. Fierce, smart and packed with tension, The Next Girl grabbed me from the first page. Drysdale knows how to craft a badass heroine, and with The Next Girl, she turns her sharp eye on injustice, misogyny and surveillance. ' -- Ashley Kalagian Blunt * Dark Mode *
