About
Sixteen-year-old Jasmine Cooper is back after twelve months at Guiding Hearts Home for Troubled Girls, and nothing is the way it was. Her mom has remarried and now there’s a big new house, a shiny new family, and a fancy new school. Jas feels completely out of place, and things only get more complicated when her mom insists that her “fresh start” include hiding the truth of where she’s been and cutting off people from her past.
As Jas settles into her new life bonding with her seemingly perfect stepsister, making a close-knit group of besties, and maybe even falling for the cute girl in class, it starts to feel like her second chance might actually be real.
But when a friend from the detention center reaches out to reconnect, Jas worries that everything she’s built could fall apart. How long can she keep her past a secret? And how many times can she spin the truth before she forgets who she really is?

"Moving and powerful, Free Girls is a triumph of a debut. With her unstoppable voice and complex and loveable characters, McCallum reminds readers that you can always rewrite your story"
and that finding your truth is the first step to finding yourself."
"There's a real art to capturing the bittersweetness where 'wanting to and knowing you can change' collides with 'this is how the people closest to you have decided you are.' McCallum masterfully expresses this aching, evergreen feeling through Free Girls."
