A spectacular thriller . . . Give Me Your Hand is a nuanced and atmospheric story about the lure of big dreams, especially for women. * NPR * The latest thriller from the ever-impressive Megan Abbott . . . Abbott sows suspense by shifting between past and present, demonstrating how life's earlier acts affect future ones. * Wall Street Journal * Abbott's talent lies in dissecting the complicated tension between women at any age . . . Abbott excavates the wariness women can feel toward one another to create internal psychological drama. Plenty of blood is spilled in Abbott's book. But the paranoia of whether to trust a frenemy proves even more compelling. * TIME Magazine * If I never write another book again, it is Megan Abbott's fault. Because I just read absolute, flat out perfection. -- Attica Locke, author of Black Water Rising 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 * [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 * 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 * Abbott deliciously draws out tension . . . a baroque thriller. * Washington Post * 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 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 adore Megan Abbott and devoured this new one in one sitting! -- Bookriot.com 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 Give Me Your Hand is dark, smart, twisty, and thoroughly addictive. -- Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children Megan's writing is masterful, suspenseful and believable . . . The suspense does not let up - I was gripped from the first page. -- Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You 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 Dark, daring and smart, this psychological thriller is ragingly good. * Psychologies * 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 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 Give Me Your Hand is sublime. -- Laura Lippman, author of Life Sentences 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 Megan Abbott at her very best. Cool, crisp, chilling. -- Paula Hawkins The Queen of US noir serves up a suitably spiky tale of ambition and betrayal. -- Best Beach Reads for Summer * Independent * [Give Me Your Hand] should cement [Abbott's] position as one of the most intelligent and daring novelists working in the crime genre today. -- Ruth Ware, author of In A Dark, Dark Wood * New York Times Book Review * [A] searing, fierce novel of female friendship and ambition. * Observer * A mesmerizing psychological thriller. -- Books of the Year * Guardian * A finely crafted story of obsession . . . [The] prose has the vividness of cinema, which is no coincidence. Abbott is an expert on film noir and, as with the classic movies of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood, the plot of her own novel twists like a python. * Financial Times * Megan Abbott is one of the smartest storytellers around and her thought-provoking ideas lift her books to another level. * Daily Mail * Beautifully written and unbearably tense, this is a standout study of ambition, rivalry and fear. * Guardian *
