Will have you glued to the story through every twist and turn. I absolutely loved it! * Kate Hamer *
Part pulsing psychological thriller, part subversive meditation on the way we use (and abuse) our bodies, part noir-ish twisted revenge fantasy, SWEAT is like nothing I’ve ever read before. So addictive it made me miss a tube stop, so unsettling it made me think twice about going to the gym! * Sara Collins *
An inspired set-up. A clever dynamic that paves the way for a cat-and-mouse thriller. Propulsive * Sunday Times *
A maze-like game of revenge. Unsettling. Blends a critique of wellness culture with a slow-burn feminist thriller * Observer *

A modern thriller about revenge, self-discipline, and control – Eva Wiseman * Observer Magazine *
Taut and twisty … claustrophobic psychological tale … becomes a slow-burn revenge thriller. Takes full advantage of shifting perspectives and disorientating power dynamics as acts of retribution escalate * Mail on Sunday *
