More Than You'll Ever Know

- Reviews -

A sprawling, stunning, twisting triumph. By turns heart-pounding and heart-wrenching, this is a story of marriage and murder, of the secrets we endure and the lies we tell ourselves to keep them. So achingly clever and stylish, More Than You' ll Ever Know is a special novel from a very special writer -- Chris Whitaker I was enthralled with More Than You' ll Ever Know from the very first pages of Gutierrez' s rich and assured writing. A gripping and thoughtful exploration of motherhood and marriage, the complexity of female desire, and the consequence of our obsession with true crime, it' s one of the best suspenseful dramas I' ve read in years. An exceptional, stunning debut-I absolutely loved it -- Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push A tale of two women, two timelines, two sides of a border and two husbands, More Than You' ll Ever Know is a novel both compelling and resonant - a novel which grips you like a thrilleras you are reading it, with characters and themes which linger in the mind like the best literary fiction. This is an unforgettable story, told brilliantly - one of those novels where from the first page you know you are in the hands of a writer of verve, confidence and conviction -- Ellery Lloyd Enthralling, breathtaking, and propulsive, MORE THAN YOU' LL EVER KNOW is the kind of book that only comes around once every decade. With hypnotic, shimmering prose set against a masterful plot, Katie Gutierrez has crafted anexplosive modern classic--a groundbreaking, razor-sharp exploration of what it means to be a woman in all its complexity, as well as a deep dive into the morally gray areas of the double lives we all lead. Equal parts literary tour de force and domestic suspense, with a sweeping, sprawling narrative, More Than You' ll Ever Know is poised to become the buzziest book of the year -- May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives I love this book more than Dolores "Lore" Rivera loves both her families and now you have to read this book to understand what I mean * CrimeReads * As addictive as a real-life who-dunnit, with thoughtful attention to the ethical implications of the true crime genre, More Than You' ll Ever Know explores how we entangle ourselves one choice at a time, and what it costs to unravel the damage. Crystalline and multi-faceted, this is a page-turner brimming with empathy, a window into 1980s Mexico City and Laredo, and the ways community both bouys and pulls us under. Katie Gutierrez is a force, and she writes fabulously complicated, fully-realized characters who will linger with you long after the final page -- Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House and What Should Be Wild It' s difficult to believe that this masterful novel is a first book. Katie Gutierrez handles its dangerous turns like a Formula One driver. That elegance, darkness, even fear are deftly intertwined in the story make it a wonderful read. More books, please -- Luis Alberto Urrea With thrilling, atmospheric prose set against an intricate plot, Katie Gutierrez' s debut More Than You' ll Ever Know is both a suspenseful mystery, a family drama, and an astute examination of motherhood, love, and secrets. I read this morally complex novel ravenously, desperate to discover the fates of the two women at its center. You won' t be able to put this book down -- Lara Prescott, New York Times bestselling author of The Secrets We Kept What happens when a mother wants more? A seductive, urgent tale about desire, family, the pursuit of truth, and the art of storytelling, More Than You' ll Ever Know will astonish readers with its vastness, romance, tragedy, and abundant heart. I became obsessed with Katie Gutierrez' s restless, secret-keeping heroines and didn' t want this book to ever end -- Jessamine Chan, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good Mothers With beautifully written prose and razor-sharp insight, Katie Gutierrez draws us into More Than You' ll Ever Know' s gripping and complex world. Even as the dual storylines left me breathless, I found myself more captivated by Gutierrez' s intimate and compassionate portrayal of these women, their men, and the many secrets they kept. Passionate, supremely intelligent, and thrilling -- Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee
