Selfish Girls by Abigail Bergstrom
Ines is reluctantly moving home on the edge of a breakdown, her childhood sweetheart in tow.
He's only ever wanted what was best for her. Gwen is elated that her prodigal daughter has returned. Dylan is still licking her wounds from a rejection she can't forget.
And Emma is quietly suffocating in the perfect marriage she wanted so badly. They were inseparable once. But that was a long time ago.
Now, they're back in the Welsh town where they grew up, peeling back the layers of a once forgotten, haunting past. What they find may be the end of them... Uninhibited, claustrophobic and emotionally complex, Selfish Girls spans generations, buried resentments, and an unexpected love story.
It is a clear-eyed portrait of a dysfunctional family and the pain we inflict on those we love most.
