The dark side of the vault.

In the last year or so, I became hooked on Megan Abbott’s novels. The Fever is my favorite, though Dare Me was also excellent. Abbott examines the dark underbelly of female adolescence in a way that is both complex and sympathetic. She looks at individuals versus the collective and questions the way we create homosocial female societies. I had high expectations for You Will Know Me, and she did not disappoint.
