'(A) hypnotic debut about an intense, obsessive friendship that leaves chaos in its wake' - ELLE

'Like lightning in a bottle...A captivating, terrifying novel and one you won't forget' - Megan Abbott

‘A book so wonderful, so terrible, so nightmarishly compelling that I hardly knew what to say when I finished reading it. Wasserman has wrapped up a love story inside a murder mystery, a promise and a testament inside a confession - and has a title ever been truer? The reader comes away singed’ – Kelly Link

‘Like a mini Thelma and Louise as directed by David Lynch, the relationship between Dex and Lacey dances around the death of a high-school jock and the slow undoing of his near-perfect girlfirned. Dark, disturbing and utterly fresh, this is a story to pick up and not put down’
