Eerie and gripping and told with lush and inviting scenes, Imaginary Girls will haunt its readers. An intensely vivid portrayal of love and no-choice loyalty and power that has no easy answers. –Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

A surreal little nightmare in book form. I just loved it. Nova Ren Suma’s voice is unique and riveting, and so is the indelible Ruby, who dominates the reader from the very first page. It’s the book everyone will be dying to talk about. –Nancy Werlin, author of Impossible and Extraordinary

A surreal and dreamy world where magical thinking is carried to a chilling extreme. Suma uses the story’s supernatural horror movie–ready elements in the best of ways; beneath all the strangeness lies beauty, along with a powerful statement about the devotion between sisters. –Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A sexy, surreal, and touching exploration of the outer limits of sisterly love’s power.… This glittering puzzle box of a story about the exertion of one girl’s will over life and death is as moving as it is creepy. –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A strange, passionate tribute to sisterly bonds and an ominous, delicious tale that’ll scare everybody away from swimming for the summer, if not eternity. –The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

Imaginary Girls will submerge its readers in an eeriness and intensity not often felt in YA literature. –BookPage
