My Review
Megan Abbot has a wonderful ability to convey the inner most desires of her characters in a way which feels like the reader is peaking beneath a curtain into the watery pools of their emotions.
Give Me Your Hand is noir without the sepia splash and minus the mysterious fedora-wearing character. In their place are test tubes, lab mice, and vibrant characters full of life who are bursting at the seams with secrets and ambition.
Under a microscope, Kit Owens and Diane Fleming share a thirst for science; a lust for knowledge, and a need to become someone. They also share a secret which plagues both from their formative years of teenage angst through to their professional place in the world of pharmaceuticals.
A secret worth killing to keep.
My rating: 5/5 stars. Megan Abbott has crafted a tension-filled novel that threatens to boil at any moment, each chapter threatens the status quo. These character are dangerous and are portrayed as such.
