Sex Education actor Tanya Reynolds to narrate Given’s debut novel GirlCrush

Tanya Reynolds, star of Netflix’s “Sex Education”, will voice the audiobook for Florence Given’s debut novel GirlCrush (Brazen). 

Publishing director Romilly Morgan acquired world rights  to Given’s “dark” fiction debut from Abigail Bergstrom at Bergstrom Studio in December 2021, for publication in hardback in August 2022.   

The synopsis reads: “In her debut novel, we follow Eartha on a wild, weird and seductive modern-day exploration as she commences life as an openly bisexual woman while also becoming a viral sensation on Wonder Land; a social media app where people project their dream selves online. 

“But as her online self and her offline self become more and more distanced, trauma from her past comes back to haunt and destroy her present. Eartha must make a choice, which version of herself should she kill off? GirlCrush is about getting lost in the in-between, when projecting your dream self online, can often seem better than a lifetime of being stuck in reality.” 

Given commented: "I am so excited for Tanya to bring all my characters to life in audio. We’ve all fallen in love with the sexy, quirky characters she creates, and I can’t wait for her to bring that energy to GirlCrush. It’s going to be so hot."

Melissa Baker, head of digital at Octopus Publishing Group, said: “Tanya is an incredibly talented actress known to many as eccentric author Lily Inglehart in ’Sex Education’. She’s got such a gift for capturing all the warmth, humour and drama of a story, I just know listeners are going to be gripped by her performance.”
