Fascinating, disturbing, mysterious, and at times, downright creepyLili Anolik’s wonderfully twisted debut novel will intoxicate readers!” — John Searles, bestselling author of Help for the Haunted and Strange but True
“As much as this is a crime drama, it’s also a coming-of-age novel. The plot is high-suspense, but it’s the strength of the characters—and the strength of Anolik’s hypnotic, unfussy prose—that gives the book its lasting force. Wholly absorbing and emotionally rich...Deeply satisfying.” — Kirkus Reviews
