Title: Girl Falling
Author: Hayley Scrivenor
Escape to the dramatic landscapes of the Blue Mountains with Girl Falling, a gripping story of friendship, obsession, and betrayal. When Finn’s close bond with her best friend Daphne starts to crack under the pressures of adult life, a tragic accident—or is it something more?—forces the truth to the surface. As layers of loyalty and control unravel, Hayley Scrivenor's masterful storytelling invites you to question the stories we tell ourselves about love, loss, and trust.
This compelling novel is perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Gillian Flynn, or Liane Moriarty and pairs beautifully with a moody indie rock album for the ultimate immersive read.

Finn and her best friend, Daphne, have grown up together in the Blue Mountains. Bonded by both having lost a younger sister to suicide, they've always had a close - sometimes too close - friendship. Now in their twenties, their lives have finally started to diverge: Daphne is at university and Finn is working in the Mountains, as well as falling in love with a beautiful newcomer called Magdu.
Unused to sharing Finn, Daphne starts to act up in ways that will allow her to maintain the control over her best friend she's always relished. Then, one fateful day, Finn, Daphne and Magdu all go rock-climbing - and Magdu falls to her death. Is it suicide, or a terrible accident - or something more sinister?
Bold, dramatic and utterly compelling, Girl Falling forces us to confront the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love. Displaying all of Hayley Scrivenor's razor-sharp skills for character, landscape and narrative, this is a breathtaking read.
