Girl One

"If The Handmaid's Tale and the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a baby, the result would probably look something like this feminist sci-fi thriller."
--Keely Weiss, Harper's Bazaar

"Full of multiverse alternate-timeline feels, Girl One all but dares you to imagine what the world would look like if humanity had made massive changes to reproduction in the 1970s . . . This trippy, detective-style sci-fi thriller rewards readers who stick with it . . . It will leave you thinking about the power of choice and the importance of family."
--Saira Mueller, Wired

"This is the superhero take on 1970s feminism that we never knew we needed--and after reading it, I'm a bit shocked it hasn't been done before! . . . [An] Atwood-esque thriller."
--Molly Odintz, CrimeReads

"[Girl One] has a grab-you-by-the-neck premise . . . Once Josie starts her quest, dystopian gender politics turn into supernatural hijinks."
--Bethanne Patrick, Los Angeles Times

"A genre-defying, thought-provoking thriller that is impossible to put down. Girl One is an engaging, timely exploration of identity and the power women possess when they band together."
--Kami Garcia, author of Beautiful Creatures

"Murphy, smartly, doesn't dive too deeply into the science of it all, but focuses on the women at the heart of the story. A compelling read."
--Emily Burack, Alma

"Girl One flares into the world with genetic possibilities and a bold remaking of history. A speculative feminist thriller of the highest order, Girl One is fresh, boundless, and thought-provoking. Certain books and characters linger long after the final page. Josephine Morrow and her extraordinary journey is one you won't soon forget."
--Mindy Mejia, author of Everything You Want Me To Be and Strike Me Down

"This twisty, fast-paced thriller raises some really terrific questions regarding ethics in science and media, especially as they relate to feminism and female agency . . . extraordinarily relevant even in this third decade of the 21st century."
--Doreen Sheridan, Criminal Element

"Sara Flannery Murphy's Girl One is both a heart-pounding, bingeworthy thriller and a riveting exploration of creation, consent, and the power of sisterhood. Don't miss this compelling new entry to the feminist literary canon!"
--Layne Fargo, author of They Never Learn

"Part fantasy, part thriller, this book feels like the perfect jumping-off point to start my sci-fi-inspired literary journey."
--Alicia Lansom, Refinery29
