The Girl You Know
Bloomsbury presents The Girl You Know by Elle Gonzalez Rose, read by Victoria Villarreal
A dark academia thriller about who is allowed to break the rules and who suffers the consequences, perfect for fans of Jessica Goodman and Holly Jackson.
The week before Luna’s twin sister Solina was supposed to head back for her final semester at Kingswood Academy, an elite boarding school in the Washington mountains, she told Luna she was dropping out. When Luna refused to let her throw away her future, Solina disappeared.
Twelve hours later, she was dead.
Luna knows Solina’s death wasn’t an accident, even if the police say otherwise. There’s a reason Solina didn’t want to go back to Kingswood, and Luna knows she’ll find the truth there. All she has to do is become Solina. Playing Solina comes easy, but finding answers is far from it. Between the cunning, cruel people Solina called her friends, Luna's budding feelings for her roommate Claudia, and the harsh realization that Solina had dark secrets, getting to the bottom of her sister's murder is more difficult than Luna could have ever anticipated. But when you have nothing left to lose, you’re willing to do anything to get what you want. There’s no limit to how far Luna will go to avenge her sister—even if she has to burn all of Kingswood to the ground.

Actual rating 4.5 stars.
You know, I really liked Elle Gonzalez Rose’s YA contemporary romances, but Elle just knows my soft spot: sadder, darker stories with flawed characters full of anger.
As soon as I read the blurb of this story, I knew I had to read the book. A teen who loses her identical twin and suspects she got killed and therefore takes her sister’s place at her boarding school to find out who murdered her twin.
From the first page, this story hisses and puffs and eventually stirs up a raging fire. Luna is a fighter and has always been a fighter. So when the police dismiss Solina’s death as an accident, she’s enraged.
My hair stood up when Luna met her sister’s friends. Every time Hunter touched her, I wanted to pull away. Whenever Polly talked to her, I cringed. And Gabe? He was so unreadable. Even Claudia made my gut churn, even though she was the nicest of the bunch.
I love it when an author is multi-talented and can write in different genres. Now, I’m longing for a darker contemporary romance, but another dark academia would be great, too!
Thank you, Erin, from MacMillan International, for this great ARC!

THE GIRL YOU KNOW by Elle Gonzalez Rose
Thank you @bloomsburybooksus & @librofm for my gifted audiobook 🎧 #librofmlisteningsquad
Happy pub week! 🥳
📖 The Girl You Know is a gripping, fast-paced, YA thriller of the dark academia variety. The story follows a young, queer Latina named Luna, who, after the mysterious death of her twin sister Solina, infiltrates the elite Kingswood Academy by pretending to be her dead sister. On Luna's quest to unveil the truth, she discovers the school's sinister secrets, navigates complex relationships, and discovers unsettling truths about her sister.
💭 Suspenseful and twisty, this book had me in its grips from jump. The characters are well-crafted with an abundance of depth; readers can't help but empathize and root for Luna as she grapples with her grief and fury. In addition to being a well-plotted mystery/thriller, The Girl You Know also includes timely and important commentary on classism, sexism, and racism.
🎧 I intentionally chose to read this with my ears after sampling the audiobook. Narrator Victoria Villarreal is outstanding! Audiobook readers of Latinx lit will recognize her voice from a long list of titles, including the Pulitzer Prize winner Liliana's Invincible Summer.

The Clinic by Cate Quinn but make it dark academia. The reveal was predictable but the book as a whole is very well-written, especially when it comes to exploring themes of classism/elitism/privilege in academia

i’m pretty happy with this one! the author was REALLY good at making you not like characters, and ofc had amazing morally grey ones too
it’s a little slower paced than i thought it was going to be which, whatever, that’s fine

THE GIRL YOU KNOW took way too much suspension of disbelief for my enjoyment.
I cannot believe one twin could seamlessly slip into the other’s life at boarding school, where she lived with roommates, and not have anyone realize something was off. Plus, Luna dropped out in tenth grade from a podunk school. How was she supposed to fit in as a top tier student at an elite boarding school?
Luna was an uninteresting character who projected martyrdom, sacrificing her education so she could help her twin out with boarding school.
In the time it took to write this review, I went from two stars to one.

2/5 stars. I’m sorry, I’m a sucker for boarding school books and the synopsis sounded good….but this came off as implausible and kind of unhinged.
I agree with another reviewer that stated that Luna came off as a martyr for her twin sister (I.e. I dropped out of high school because my sister is going to an expensive school and deserves a better life when I don’t) and it got old. Clearly Luna didn’t know her sister very well…and yet managed to slip into her life.

i received an advanced review copy from the publisher as part of a book tour. this did not affect my rating.
content warnings: sexual assault, racism, death of loved ones, absent parent with substance use disorder, classism
luna’s twin sister solina died just a week before she was supposed to head back to kingswood academy, and despite what the local police say, luna knows it’s no accident. she doesn’t know much about her sister’s life at kingswood, but she’s sure one of solina’s classmates are to blame. so, she decides to take solina’s place at school and conduct her own investigation.
i really enjoyed elle gonzalez rose’s caught in bad fauxmance, so i was very excited to read this book, despite the genre and mood being very different. i ended up really enjoying this, so i’m glad i picked it up!
luna is such an interesting character. she dropped out of high school to work full-time and support solina through her schooling. in the absence of their parents, luna took on the role of parent, despite the two being the same age. we don’t get to meet solina while she’s still alive, as the book starts after her death, but her character was also very interesting. luna recalls moments while solina was still alive, but when she assumes solina’s identity, she finds out that who her sister was at kingswood was very different.
the mystery aspect was also pretty interesting to me. while i did guess the big twist somewhat early on, i was still interested in figuring out exactly how it happened and what led up to that point. there were also several discussions on the racism and classism in boarding schools such as kingswood, which i appreciated.
i would recommend this book to fans of academic mysteries/thrillers!

Definitely a YA book. Good premise for a dark academia story, twins switching places, but I could see the story coming chapters ahead of time. I would say this book would be entertaining for the 12 to 15 year old age group.

This wasn’t that bad, but also not that good. Just… fine. The concept is really interesting, but I feel like it didn’t reach its full potential. Looking back, not much happened in this book. I could summarize all the main events in like, 2 sentences ().
That story is definitely interesting (although you have to suspend your disbelief bc how did no one notice Solina wasn’t herself lol?). But the fact that I could tell you everything that happened in just a few words means that there wasn’t much to this mystery. I was expecting more: more players on the board, more suspects, more motives, more red herrings, more sleuthing, more clues to follow… All Luna did was look through people’s phones to find out they had alibis on Solina’s death date, and look at Solina’s therapist’s folder. There wasn’t a lot of investigation, idk…
I didn’t guess who the killer was, but I will say that, when it was revealed, I was PISSED. Not at who it was, but at Luna’s reaction. Like, I’m sorry, but this person killed your sister and
Even though the plot was lackluster, I still think the pacing was alright, and the writing was good. I especially liked Luna’s backstory. I think her struggles and the way she dealt with grief were quite interesting. I liked the ending with Luna and Tiffany, and the way Izzy’s story was wrapped up was alright, I guess.
The romance was shit, though. 💀 There was literally no reason for the characters to like each other. It was lowkey insta-love. Thankfully, the romance wasn’t a big part of the book.

Getting spooky season off to a dark start in this YA dark academia thriller. This isn't the type of book I would normally pick up, but I was intrigued and invested in the storyline.
I did find the premise a bit hard to believe, and while I found Luna's confirmation bias realistic, I kept repeating "That's not proof" to myself as she would lock on to an idea and not waver.
I will admit that I got through a third of the novel and wasn't inspired to pick it up again for a few days. I did consider DNF-ing because I found I didn't *need* to know what happened. It’s the kind of book that's interesting when you're reading it, but doesn't demand the same attention once I’ve put it down. But that may have been vacation brain at work. Because I picked it up again when I got home and was able to breeze through the rest.
There was an unexpected sapphic-ness to this story that I didn’t expect, too. But it’s not about that and I wouldn’t recommend it on those terms.

holy crud… the girl you know by elle gonzalez rose is one of the best ya mysteries that will come out of 2025 and I promise you that.
this book was incredible from start to finish. a dark academia, pretending to be your dead twin sister at her boarding school where only the rich go mixed with a bit of a sapphic romance??? yeah, this one was it. luna knows her twin sister, solina, like the back of her hand. so when she turns up dead, luna knows it was no accident and decides to pretend to be her sister to figure out what happened to her. this book was AMAZING! i am seriously still thinking about this one, days after reading it. it was so well written, the boarding school aspect was so so fun to be apart of, and the mystery kept me on my toes! i love this one so much. this is not one you want to miss.
and thank you so much to Bloomsbury for sending me an ARC of this book!! all thoughts are my own.

Rating 3.75?
I feel like all of Elle’s books have been vastly different and I like that about them. I never know what to expect. While to feel like this plot has been done before, I was really enjoying Luna as a character. She’s strong willed and determined. While this book didn’t focus on romance, I felt like the whole “revenge” was lackluster. Without spoiling it I was a little disappointed. The romance was pretty not existent and even when there was a little of romance it didn’t feel believable. I didn’t see any chemistry between them two at all. They barely spoke. I think the strong characters of Luna and Tiffany really made the book. I liked reading Luna’s backstory and hearing about how hard she tried. I wanted her to succeed. I just wish she would have gotten to have an ending she deserved.

I really enjoyed this dark, twisty academic thriller! While the characters aren’t memorable and the plot is simple, it’s what I consider a popcorn thriller that’s easy to read and enjoy!
March 23, 2025
This is why I often feel torn when it comes to YA thrillers. While I don’t mind circling around familiar conflicts, what I crave is more tension, deeper motives, and psychological thrills that leave me in awe.
What I liked:
Luna’s quest for revenge. I could feel her anger and the burning need to take down the villain who ruined her twin sister’s life, making her journey feel emotional.
• The elite school setting with its mix of genius, rich, and slightly spoiled kids. Add in some shady behavior covered up by their well-connected parents (and somewhat twisted), even the professors couldn't control them.
• underprivileged students. they have to work their butts off to fit in, earn trust, and survive in the high school hierarchy. It’s a whole battle between the upper and middle class.
• The sudden queer romance came out of nowhere. I’m still on the fence about whether it really added anything to the plot. Could’ve been more developed, maybe?
Overall, The Girl You Know wasn’t a bad read, but it didn’t blow me away either.

It started off promising but fell flat. The plot veered into very unrealistic and rush territory. There were plot points that felt unnecessary and unfinished.

Elle Gonzalez Rose’s The Girl You Know is a feminist murder mystery that dives into the world of the elite- their ability to evade justice, and a girl who would do anything for closure.
After the mysterious death of her twin sister, Solina, Luna assumes her sister’s identity to infiltrate the elite Kingswood Academy. The police have labelled Solina’s death as an accident, but Luna knows better. As she navigates Solina's cruel friends and her growing feelings for her roommate, she uncovers disturbing truths that shatter her perfect view of her sister. With nothing left to lose, Luna is willing to do anything for answers…even if it means burning the school to the ground.
You gotta love a good old ‘whodunnit’ mystery, especially with the twisty side dish Gonzalez Rose is serving. Suspects come from the pickings of the most elite students to walk the halls, ones with enough money to get away with almost anything…and that’s why Luna’s story is so thrilling. She’s not looking for enough evidence to prove her theory to the police -oh no- Luna just needs enough to know whose heart to sink her knife into.
While the book has a heavy focus on the important topics of racism, classism, and sexism, the most underlying focus is how Luna deals with her grief. Her character is undeniably morally-grey and there is no length she won’t go and no line she wouldn’t cross for closure. Every page is emotionally charged (and I’m not afraid to admit that I did cry a little at the end. The twin dynamic was heartbreaking).
+ Queer rep: Trans found family, Tiffany (my favourite character btw), and the mysterious roommate Luna falls for (did I mention this book is sapphic???)
Why -1 star: I was expecting a little more investigating and a little more to the mystery. There weren’t many suspects at play and all Luna seemed to do was steal people’s phones and check the dates on photos.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for academic mystery/thrillers!

౨ৎ | because the world is fucked and we were all dealt a losing hand.
— ★ 3/5
this book began slow, and when we finally got to the plot line i was very intrigued to see how it would begin and end. safe to say i was slightly disappointed.
there was so many opportunities for the mc to figure things out on her own, but i feel like it was a bunch of back and forth. only for the answers to fall into her lap.
i liked luna, but i felt like she could have done so much more.
i loved tiffany though, like give me a book on her and ill eat it up.
all in all, i did enjoy i just felt like it could have been so much more plot driven.

Extremely slow, unrealistic premise yet super predictable. Author focused too much on trying to sound woke instead of adding content. Would not recommend. Goodreads needs to pick better books for their bookmark challenges
September 15, 2025
Had very high hopes. The end was a mega disappointing. And it took me a while to read even though I wouldn’t say it was compleatly boring just maybe paced badly. I like the characters but the main character was very repetitive and basic; Not very deep at all. Took forever for her to actually get to the school. And once she got there it was good until I was bored. So maybe I don’t recommend.

Not bad. Not great. The big “reveal” was quite underwhelming.

This is one of those read-it-in-one-sitting masterpieces where you won't guess the ending but in a way that's like, "oh shit, yeah that all makes sense now, brilliant." A juicy meaty thrillerburger.
