We Won’t Remember Your Name

Mean Girls meets Severance in this dark academia YA novel.

The Fossbridge School for Timid Girls exists outside of time and place. Here, girls frozen in their sixteenth year live for their moment of triumph and freedom: Graduation. Divided into tiers and kept on a strict schedule, the girls find that their memories of the outside world fade quickly as the rigid rules and complex social hierarchy that dominate their days take over. Success means winning not only the approval of their teachers but that of their rivals as well. Top girls Graduate to resume their forgotten lives, while others watch and wait for any opportunity to claw their way closer to their goal. And then there are Leavers—but it’s best not to talk about them . . .

When two new arrivals dare to challenge Fossbridge’s delicate ecosystem, cracks begin to show in the school’s serene facade. Girls hear voices in their rooms at night, civilized debates turn to vicious brawls, and sabotage lurks in every corner—this crumbling sanctuary’s darkest secret is about to be unleashed. After all, the one eternal truth about Fossbridge is that timid girls can change.

Godwin Books/Macmillan – publishing in spring 2027.
