Beautifully written and unbearably tense this is a standout study of ambition rivalry and fear. Megan Abbott is one of the smartest storytellers around and her thought-provoking ideas lift her books to another level. [A] searing fierce novel of female friendship and ambition. [Give Me Your Hand] should cement [Abbott's] position as one of the most intelligent and daring novelists working in the crime genre today. Megan Abbott at her very best. Cool crisp chilling. 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. Give Me Your Hand is sublime. What THESE black shadows under my eyes? Why they're courtesy of Give Me Your Hand. SO UNBEARABLY TENSE. 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! Dark daring and smart this psychological thriller is ragingly good. Give Me Your Hand is dark unsettling brilliantly tense and I raced through it without pausing for breath. Megan's writing is masterful suspenseful and believable . . . The suspense does not let up - I was gripped from the first page. Give Me Your Hand is dark smart twisty and thoroughly addictive. 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. I adore Megan Abbott and devoured this new one in one sitting! 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. 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. Abbott deliciously draws out tension . . . a baroque thriller. 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. [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.
