Synopsis

The boy who couldn’t love and the girl who wouldn’t.
  
Ginny Murphy is a total guy’s girl. She’s always found friendships with boys easier to form and keep drama-free – as long as they don’t fall for her, and she doesn’t fall for them. She and her best guy friends have stuck to that. But then she meets Adrian Silvas, the only one who’s ever made her crave more, and Ginny begins to question her own rules. 
 
Piece by piece, Ginny and Adrian begin to fall into something intoxicating, something dangerous. Ginny threatens to destroy the belief Adrian's held ever since witnessing his own mother’s heartbreak: that love isn’t worth the risk. For Ginny, the stakes could be even higher. Letting Adrian get close could mean exposing a secret she’s long protected: her disordered eating.
 
Ginny isn’t looking to be saved by someone. But maybe she and Adrian can help each other – if they don’t destroy each other first.
 
Heartfelt and evocative, Guy's Girl is a powerful story about true love, self-love, and growing up.

About The Author

Emma Noyes told her mother she wanted to be an author when she was six. She grew up in a suburb outside Chicago and attended Harvard University, where she studied history & literature. She started her career at a beer company, but left because she wanted to write about mermaids and witches—eventually publishing her first YA fantasy series, The Sunken City. She now lives in Chicago with her Swedish boyfriend and miniature Pomeranian. Guy’s Girl is her adult debut.

Wow, what a journey this book took me on! Guy’s Girl is categorized as a New Adult Romance, and that’s certainly true, but it’s WAY more than that.

Goodreads review by Mallory on October 30, 2023

This new adult romance was interesting. I like the idea of highlighting/normalizing eating disorders as there is far too much shame mixed in with those. I struggled with the book a little because I didn’t like any of the characters and usually with romance I want to like at least the two love intere......more

Não se deixem levar pela capa cor de rosa e bonitinha (sim a capa está perfeita 🤌🏻🌸), a verdade é que esta história é tudo menos cor de rosa e bonitinha - é crua, dura, um murro no estômago e dos livros mais surpreendentes e difíceis de ler que já li...portanto sim, é um livro que merece destaque, m......more
