How to Build a Girl

A soon-to-be-released film, directed by Coky Giedroyc, features Beanie Feldstein, known from "Ladybird," taking on the role of Johanna Morrigan, and Alfie Allen from "Game of Thrones" playing John Kite. The story follows Johanna Morrigan, a fourteen-year-old who decides she must metaphorically kill herself to transform into someone new. Her new persona, Dolly Wilde, is everything Johanna aspires to become. However, as with many coming-of-age tales, not everything unfolds as anticipated. This narrative, penned by the acclaimed and bestselling author of "How to Be a Woman," has topped the Sunday Times bestseller list in both hardback and paperback editions.
