The Year of Needy Girls is a tense, intelligent novel about fear, false accusation, and small-town hypocrisy. After the brutal murder of a boy, outrage and homophobia embroil two women in a town desperate to find someone to blame. Smith’s haunting storytelling, moral complexity, and lyrical restraint breathe life into a modern-day witch hunt that questions who gets to be believed.
