Westworld meets The Handmaid's Tale in this start to a thrilling, subversive near-future series from New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Young about a girls-only private high school that is far more than it appears to be.
Some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns.
The girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved - it says so on their report cards. Under the watchful gaze of their guardian, they receive a well-rounded education that promises to make them better. Obedient girls, free from arrogance or defiance. Free from troublesome opinions or individual interests.Â
But the girls' carefully controlled existence may not be quite as it appears. As Mena and her friends uncover the dark secrets of what's actually happening there - and who they really are - the girls of Innovations Academy will learn to fight back.Â
Bringing the trademark plot twists and high-octane drama that made Program a best-selling and award-winning series, Suzanne Young launches a new series that confronts some of today's most pressing ethical questions.

"I am in the minority, so take my review with a grain of salt.
I began Girl with Sharp Sticks after a book that I died for. And beginning this book most likely altered how I feel about it.
I didn't connect to Philomena, the plot, or the setting. It took me a while to begin the story, and I had to restart two times. I couldn't focus on the beginning, and I read pretty far.
The biggest problem I had was the topics that were discussed within the story. I can handle certain things, but abuse is hard for me to take. And because this story mentions in, along with sexism, I think that is the main problem of why I couldn't connect. The ending was compelling, regardless if there's a cliffhanger.
As I said before, I am in the minority. The premise is wonderful, filled with classic Suzanne Young magic. Give Girls with Sharp Sticks a try, because you will have a different opinion than I will.
*Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.*"

Girls with Sharp Sticks Girls with Sharp Sticks Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Suzanne Young Caitlin Davies Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews
- Since coming across The Program in 2013 I have been a fan of Suzanne Young and her books. There is something about the way she tells a story that sucked me in from the get go. I swear every time I need a new book by her I don’t think she can write any better than she has and yet she constantly proves me wrong. But I can confidentially tell you that Girls with Sharp Sticks is 100% her most brilliant masterpiece yet. When I tell you that I loved this book, I mean it more than I can accurately explain. It is just such a memorable reading experience you truly won’t be able to find the words to describe your feelings.
Girls with Sharp Sticks is about Mena, a girl that goes to a school where she is taught how to be the ‘perfect woman’. The girls are told how to dress, how to act, and how to behave in order to please the men in their lives. They are conditioned to behave and be ‘proper’ and to obey. But when strange things start happening Mena starts noticing how unusual the school is and how sheltered the girls actually are. With the help of a new friend from outside the school walls, Mena opens her eyes and sees what’s really going on at Innovations Academy and she isn’t going to let it continue. When all the girls ban together the men of Innovations learn what the tag line says Some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns.
This book was hardcore! And epic! And amazing! And fantastic! And any other adjective you can think of to describe such an unexpectedly powerful book. I was completely creeped out and disgusted reading it. These men were so vile and gross and 100% taking advantage of these girls to suit their needs. I swear I wanted to punch them all in the face so many times. But these girls, Mena, Sydney, Annaliese, Marcella, Brynn and Valentine (not a name a few), were actually what these men feared. These women together held all the power. They were the ones that were able to stand up for themselves and say ‘no, enough is enough’, and I loved every minute of it.
I want to say so much about this story. I want to tell you every detail and small thing I loved. But I refuse to ruin this experience. I strongly feel this is a book that everyone should read and will love. It is so unexpected and brilliantly done. I really can’t say any more than that. If you have trusted my book judgement in the past then trust it now. I swear it is worth it!
Now bring on Girls with Razor Hearts! - I am in the minority, so take my review with a grain of salt.

*Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.* - If you like dystopian that still feels grounded, this book is for you. And best of all, if you know Suzanne's writing, you know this book will be full of TWISTS. GIRLS does not disappoint. There are a few awesome shout outs to her PROGRAM series that make you have a nostalgia for Young's New York Times bestselling (and groundbreaking) series about mental illness, but it's still entirely original. One of the standout YA novels of the year - and it's only March. Can't recommend this enough. Give a copy to all of the GIRLS (and guys) in your life!
- I haven’t read any of her previous books so I can’t say if this book is similar in a way that’s predictable bc to me it wasn’t . It was thought provoking. It felt right. I read it as fast as I could never stopping from page one until the very last page . It was also funny and sad. I’m curious about the ending but also if it’s never to be it ended in way I’m okay with . Don’t forget tip number four(lol)
- I feel like anything I write would ruin the experience for you. This is a new feminist dystopia for teenage girls. A great read with many twists and horrifying revelations.
- This was a great book. But the line in the description that says it's a combination of Westworld and Handmaid's Tale gives away waaay toooo much. I wish I hadn't read that because it spoiled a major plot twist for me. Now when does the next book in this series come out?
- Interesting concepts and a surprise twist. The story kept me interested to the end.
