Critics Review
Urgent, plausible … a book that can’t be read fast enough * Daniel Kraus, author of Whale Fall and Angel Down *
Haunting, humane and utterly compelling * Barry Jenkins, Oscar-winning director of Moonlight *
A high-concept premise drives the action-packed plot … this is a blast * Publishers Weekly *
Aldrich takes a premise that could have been a pure high-concept thriller and turns it into something richer * Glenn Powell, star of Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters *
Gripping and well-paced … full of philosophical questions and emotional gut punches … the scariest thing is that it seems plausible * Kirkus *
Compulsively readable and genuinely moving … this thriller is equal parts propulsive and thoughtful * Library Journal *
