A story of sisters, secrets and a sanctuary with a dark heart from author of Sunday Times bestseller The Recovery of Rose GoldWelcome to Wisewood. We' ll keep your secrets, if you keep ours. High-flier Natalie Collins always has a plan. Her younger sister Kit rarely does. Until she finds Wisewood. When Kit joins the self-help retreat on a secluded Maine island, Natalie has concerns. Why does it forbid contact with the outside world? Is it a cult? Then, after months of silence, she receives a message- Would you like to come tell your sister what you did - or should we? Who is digging into the Collins' past? Natalie will have to go to Wisewood to find out. But it turns out Wisewood is far easier to get into than to leave. . .
This Might Hurt is a mesmerizing and original ride. . . Expertly paced, hugely unsettling, and perfectly dark, you' ll be gripped in this clever exploration of fear and vulnerability right until the flawless ending * ASHLEY AUDRAIN * A sharp and intriguing look at reinvention and self-empowerment. This Might Hurt follows three women, each confronting her own set of fears, with revelations and consequences that are unexpected and chilling, right up to the jaw-dropping finale. Dark and twisted in all the right places, I did not want to stop reading this book * MARGARITA MONTIMORE * A genius, ripped-from-the-headlines masterpiece with a cult at its center. Inventive, disturbing, and tense, This Might Hurt hypnotizes the reader, until we realize, too late, what is truly happening. The very definition of suspense, this extraordinary novel will steal your breath away. * SAMANTHA M. BAILEY, author of Woman on the Edge * A gut wrenching, propulsive story about vulnerability and power. It was impossible to put down * TARRYN FISHER * An immersive novel about our capacity to both love and destroy, This Might Hurt is genuinely shocking, laced with dark humor, moments of surprising tenderness, and nightmare fodder galore. I read it in 24 hours, but will be thinking about it for much longer * LAURA HANKIN * This Might Hurt has all the ingredients of a great mystery: a remote island, estranged sisters, some whopping secrets and a cult to boot. In the deft hands of sophomore author Stephanie Wrobel, these ingredients mix together to give us a novel that' s fun, creepy and incredibly fast-paced. Wrobel is such an observant and clever writer; It' s quite the trick to execute plot twists so perfectly that the reader at once doesn' t see them coming but then can' t believe they didn' t catch on. A ridiculously wry and absorbing thriller * AMY STUART * Dark, hypnotic, and mesmerizing, This Might Hurt is a masterwork in family dynamics and the ties that bind--along with the ones that tear us apart. Prepare to be unsettled in the best possible way * LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN, bestselling author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here * I don' t know if blood is thicker than water, but I know that my blood ran cold at several points reading this book. Filled with menace, this was a gripping and compulsive read from first page to last. I thought I' d never get off that island! * LIZ NUGENT, bestselling author of Little Cruelties * A riveting exploration of sisterhood, suffering, and secrecy. With its unforgettable characters, spectacular setting, and intricate plot, This Might Hurt will take you on a journey to the heart of fear. * ROSE CARLYLE *
