Were head over heels in love withEmma Clines electric debut novel,The Girlswhich follows Evie, a quiet 14-year-old girl, who falls under the spell of the young women surrounding an enigmatic, Charles Manson-like leader named Russell.
To celebrate the books June 14 release date, EW is thrilled to present this exclusive clip fromThe Girlsaudiobook, where it’s possible for you to luxuriate in Clines prose (lines like All of our energy [was] subsumed into the theatrics of friendship and Id always liked her in a way I never had to think about, like the fact of my own hands).
In the clip below, actress Cady McClain reads as Evie muses on her comfortable friendship with a classmate named Connie, and the atmosphere of life in the 60s for girls like them.
