“Evocative and suspenseful, Bright Little Girls will keep you turning the pages and guessing until the very end.” –Patti Callahan Henry, NYT Bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea

A wannabe author. A narcissistic musician. A serial killer. An average girl. Someone tells the story. Someone is the story. Someone steals the story. Someone won't make it out of the story.

Eliane Pangolin isn't like anyone her mysterious follower has ever met. She's a 27-year-old struggling writer and wannabe dancer fighting obsessive-compulsive disorder while coping with her connection to a brutal crime. When she isn't defying a restraining order by writing letters to an old friend, she's trying to navigate feelings of both betrayal and beguile toward her lifelong male best friend. Everything in her life pulls from two directions, creating a tug-o-war she isn't sure to escape.

Hollifield masterfully paints a character of conflicting attributes, a girl who lies underneath fake palm trees in her living room, but who also has an old soul that she swears once rubbed elbows with the Fitzgerald's on some Parisian street. Broken and brilliant, antagonizing and alluring, listeners will love following Eliane just as much as her narrator in the shadows.

A story about art, obsession, guilt, crime, and lust for…everything, Bright Little Girls is about learning to cope by finding the self, the most elusive character of all. This story will seep into the soul, then invite it to come out and play.
