Description

A searing look at diet culture and all its ugly consequences, from the talented writer of Influential.

Girls like Sydney don't get rejected, because girls like Sydney aren't real . . . when I'm Sydney my body doesn't matter. I'm wearing hers.

Saffron Saldana can't stop comparing herself to the other women in her life and she only feels good when she is catfishing boys online. She welcomes in the New Year wishing she was as desirable as her best friend Poppy or as confident as her SlimIt coach mother.

But when Saffron takes on an alter ego, Sydney, an impossibly beautiful AI-generated Instagram model, she finds she has control over how others perceive her for the first time in a long time, and she likes the power. Pretending to be Sydney seems like a bit of harmless fun, but suddenly Saffron finds she is in too deep, with no idea how to stop what she has set in motion.

Girl: Ultra-Processed explores what it is like to be a teenage girl in our current body-obsessed world while juggling family drama, friend dynamics, dating, betrayals and major life changes.

A searing look at diet culture and all its ugly consequences, from the talented writer of Influential.

Girls like Sydney don't get rejected, because girls like Sydney aren't real . . . when I'm Sydney...
