The stunning, unputdownable new psychological thriller from acclaimed author Megan Abbott.
Megan Abbott is the author of The End of Everything, Dare Me (CWA Steel Dagger shortlist) and The Fever (Strand Critics Award for Best Novel of the Year and International Thriller Writers Best Hardcover Novel of the Year). She is co-writer of the smash-hit Sky Atlantic drama The Deuce. She lives in Queens, New York.
Beautifully written and unbearably tense, this is a standout study
of ambition, rivalry and fear.
*Guardian*
Megan Abbott is one of the smartest storytellers around and her
thought-provoking ideas lift her books to another level.
*Daily Mail*
[A] searing, fierce novel of female friendship and ambition.
*Observer*
[Give Me Your Hand] should cement [Abbott's] position as one of the
most intelligent and daring novelists working in the crime genre
today.
*New York Times Book Review*
Megan Abbott at her very best. Cool, crisp, chilling.
*Paula Hawkins*
SO. GOOD. A tense, pitch-perfect thriller about ambition and female
friendship and a forensic examination of what it takes for women to
rise through male-dominated spaces. It felt in places like a dark
inversion of The Secret History.
*Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said*
Give Me Your Hand is sublime.
*Laura Lippman, author of Life Sentences *
What THESE black shadows under my eyes? Why they're courtesy of
Give Me Your Hand. SO UNBEARABLY TENSE.
*Tammy Cohen, author of When She Was Bad *
A psychological thriller about women in science, twisted female
relationships and toxic secrets, Give Me Your Hand is just
irresistible. I devoured it with escalating discomfort. Abbott’s
writing is elegant, her themes expansive and her research utterly
convincing. An addictive, unsettling and distinctive read - I loved
it!
*Lucy Atkins, author of The Other Child*
Dark, daring and smart, this psychological thriller is ragingly
good.
*Psychologies*
Give Me Your Hand is dark, unsettling, brilliantly tense, and I
raced through it without pausing for breath.
*Paula Daly, author of The Mistake I Made*
Megan's writing is masterful, suspenseful and believable . . . The
suspense does not let up – I was gripped from the first page.
*Debbie Howells*
Give Me Your Hand is dark, smart, twisty, and thoroughly
addictive.
*Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children*
While Megan Abbott's magnetic new novel mines themes of ambition,
competition, excellence, and friendship, what perhaps struck me the
most was its exploration of the long, undeterrable reach of memory.
Give Me Your Hand is darkly effective, uneasy-making, and
beautifully, absorbingly written.
*Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings*
I adore Megan Abbott and devoured this new one in one sitting!
*Bookriot.com*
Abbot writes female characters who are smart and complex and
capable of very bad things . . . I read it with my shoulders
scrunched . . . genuinely awestruck by every twist and turn . . .
It’s bloody horrifying and absorbing and so very good.
*Marie Claire*
I loved this book-for its cleverness and fast pacing. I was
compelled to read quickly, the plot construction was brilliant, the
characters sharply drawn.
*Jane Shemilt, author of Daughter*
Abbott deliciously draws out tension . . . a baroque thriller.
*Washington Post*
Megan Abbott proves she’s still the queen of uncovering the dark
complexity of the female psyche . . . It uses all the strengths
she’s known for and gives them more room to develop.
*Los Angeles Review of Books*
[A] fiery new novel . . . Even if you have committed no crimes and
harbor no weighty secrets, this book will leave you nauseous with
the memories of your own manic, pulsing teenage nature, the
emotions you barely kept in check and the ones that overflowed.
*Slate*
Abbott is expert at the twists and turns of a good thrillers, and a
long the way she's brilliant at examining complex mindsets, the
subconscious drives of her main characters . . . Sublime stuff.
*Big Issue*
