Strange Girls

Strange Girls by Sarvat Hasin Pre-Order March 10th 2026

Strange Girls by award-winning international author Sarvat Hasin is a sharp, mesmerizing, and emotionally charged novel about a broken friendship, creative ambition, and the scars left behind when two women try to rewrite their shared past.

It’s been ten years since Ava last spoke to Aliya. In the decade between them, Ava has watched her own potential slip away while Aliya achieved the dream they once shared: a book deal. Now, forced back together for a mutual friend’s bachelorette weekend in London, Ava arrives at Aliya’s doorstep desperate to finally confront the truth—about their history, their work, and what they once meant to each other.

Their connection began in the storied halls of their college campus, where their creativity ignited something electric and consuming. They built a world out of the stories they wrote, borrowing and influencing, pushing and pulling. But as graduation loomed and adulthood intruded, their once-unshakable bond fractured—and Aliya discovered that words can wound as deeply as they inspire.

Told in a riveting blend of past and present, Strange Girls is a beautifully crafted portrait of a friendship that shaped two lives and then broke them open. Hasin delivers a brilliant examination of rivalry, intimacy, storytelling, and the question at the core of every relationship: Who gets to claim the narrative?

A stunning U.S. debut from a singular voice in contemporary fiction.
