Review Quotes




"[A] cunning debut thriller...Just as Henry seems to be leading readers down one path, she veers in a wholly unexpected direction, delivering a welcome jolt to an already effective mystery. Sharp observations on toxic fan culture and a basketful of literary easter eggs are icing on the cake. This delivers." --Publishers Weekly

"Fans of twisty psychological suspense, especially those who enjoy literary references, will find it hard to put down." --Booklist

"My Favorite Terrible Thing is one of my favorite books of the year! Insightful, emotional, and utterly surprising, I devoured this deeply psychological novel in one sitting and immediately wanted to read it again. Madeleine Henry is brilliant!" --Wendy Walker, bestselling author of What Remains

"A twisty, evocative novel from a gifted writer with a smart, fresh voice. I loved it!" --Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A gripping novel that explores the tenuous line between fiction and reality. Lyrical prose, compelling characters, and pacing that keeps the pages flying by make My Favorite Terrible Thing a not-to-be-missed triumph." --Liv Constantine, internationally bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish
