Beautiful. Damaged. Destructive. Meet Alexa WĂș, a brilliant yet darkly self-aware young woman whose chaotic life is controlled by a series of alternate personalities.
When Alexaâs friend Ella gets a job at a high-end gentlemenâs club, she catches the attention of its shark-like owner and is gradually drawn into his inner circle. As Alexaâs world becomes intimately entangled with Ellaâs, she soon finds herself the unwitting keeper of a nightmarish secret as she follows Ella into Londonâs cruel underbelly. Threatened and vulnerable, Alexa will discover whether her multiple personalities are her greatest asset, or her most dangerous obstacle.
Electrifying and breathlessly compulsive, The Eighth Girl is an omnivorous examination of life with mental illness and the acute trauma of living in a misogynist world. With bingeable prose and a clinicianâs expertise, Chungâs psychological debut deftly explores identity, innocence, and the fracturing weight that young women are forced to carry, causing us to ask: Does the truth lead to self-discovery, or to self-destruction?
