Give Me Your Hand follows two ex-friends forced into a competition over a spot in an elite chemistry team, and in joint past-and-present tense, develops into a slow burn thriller about the nature of keeping secrets for people close to you, and how the darkness of someone near you can be what kills you.Okay, first of all, Megan Abbott is one of the most talented authors in the adult thriller genre. Her descriptions give her entire writing this very sinister feel, and its glorious. But theres also3.5 STARSI'm really torn here... On one hand, Megan Abbott is queen, but this definitely isn't my favorite book she's written. I adore how she can write a female relationship unlike any author I've come across before; she gets all the nuances just right and injects a creepy vibe that carries the narrative AND plot without much action from the characters. I'm not sure if I just wasn't as invested in the characters this go around, as it took a little longer for me to become engrossed in the story,
Are you...crying?! Theres no crying in...science!There might be murder, though.I feel like Megan Abbott is sort of the Tom Hanks of thrillers. Everyone pretty much seems to love her, and deservedly so; her talent is pretty much consistently unimpeachable, more or less a safe and sure bet. Here shes given us another totally solid book, which for me fell somewhere between a completely respectable 3 and 4 stars. (A Lab of Their Own?? sorry, couldnt resist...).I do think its a fair observation that
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ It appears I read this one wrong. It also appears that I spend a goodly chunk of time using my review space saying if you like Megan Abbott, then youll like this on books that I actually liked more than most Abbott books excluding, of course, The End of Everything because that thing was the bomb diggity. Now please dont get it twisted and think I wont IMMEDIATELY cut wait patiently in line for her next release because I absolutely
The fear all men have that theres something inside us that shifts, and turns. A living thing, once dormant, stirring now, and filled with rage. Not quite as good as You Will Know Me, in my opinion, but still another great example of why Megan Abbott is one of my favourite authors.I can't recall any writer this adept at crafting complex, flawed female characters and the relationships between them. Abbott crawls deep inside the female brain - to all its dark places, thoughts and jealousies - and
Kit Owens is surviving high school but not living up to her true potential when Diane Fleming arrives at her school. Diane awakens a fire in Kit and the two form an unlikely friendship that propels Kit to academic success in her senior year. She and Diane study together and push each other to reach to be the best. Kit can't help but feel bad for her friend, who lives with her grandfather after the death of her dad. But all that changes when Diane shares an explosive secret with Kit, one that
3.5 starsI liked it, just can't say I loved it.What I liked:-The relationship between the 2 main characters. They fed off of each other in a way that I haven't read before and it was the driving force of the whole book.-The premise that this all started with the telling of a secret as a teen, and the life long effects it had on the both of them.What I didn't like:-The pace was a bit slow for my liking and seemed to flat line a lot.-The bouncing back at forth between timelines felt a bit jarring
