I Need You to Read This by Jessa Maxwell

4.0

---

If there’s one thing about Jessa Maxwell’s writing, it’s that it’s addicting and hard to stop reading. I binged The Golden Spoon and did the same with her second novel, I Need You to Read This, a quick, tense thriller about an advice columnist trying to solve the murder of her idol while horrific details of her past are simultaneously resurrected. While this story felt vastly different from Maxwell’s debut, the ease with which Maxwell hooks her readers from start to finish and paces the tense moments with surprising reveals is truly a work of art.

I was not blown away by the twists, but I could gorge myself on Maxwell’s books all day simply because her writing and storytelling is addictive.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for the arc!
