If you no longer want to be you, be careful who you become.
My debut novel, “How to be a French Girl,” is out now with Weatherglass Books.
“What a superb debut novel. Rose Cleary writes like Jean Rhys on Bumble - of artistic postures and authentic pain, desperate sex and female abjection. How to be a French Girl is an engrossing, unflinching tale of youthful unravelling and drastic acting out, with the devil very much in the details.” ROB DOYLE (THRESHOLD)
“How to be a French Girl is a compulsive account of dating apps, doomed ambitions and obsessive desire. It drew me in like a thriller. This is an unnerving and darkly compelling debut.”
NAOMI BOOTH (EXIT MANAGEMENT)
“A poisoned love story about class, art, work, and the awesome gullibility of young women.”
DAISY HILDYARD (EMERGENCY)
“Deeply unsettling, taut and unputdownable. I wolfed down the whole thing. If this is Rose Cleary’s debut, I’m hugely invested in what she does next.”
