Readers are going to love You Should Have Told Me.There's so much
to unpack in this taut, compelling thriller: New motherhood, a
missing husband, a ton of secrets, all brilliantly written and
plotted. Leah Konen's books are always at the top of my list
*Samantha Downing*
Unique, cleverly plotted, and emotionally resonant, You Should Have
Told Me is the rare thriller that manages to be both a dazzling
page-turner and a moving meditation on what it means to be a mother
today. It thoughtfully explores society's sky-high standards for
women, the secrets we hide even from ourselves, and how hard it can
be to trust others-especially those we love the most. I absolutely
loved it, and trust me: This book is going to be huge
*Andrea Bartz*
You Should Have Told Me is an urgent, read-in-one-sitting story
that asks when we should believe the worst about someone we love. A
tightly constructed thriller that is also a frank, moving
examination of the relentless labor and unspoken terrors of new
motherhood, the struggle to let ourselves be known, and the pain of
trying, and failing, to be good to the people we love. I adored
this book, and Leah Konen should be at the top of any thriller
lover's must-read list
*Katie Gutierrez*
Raw, brave and gripping, You Should Have Told Me is a brilliant
portrayal of a new mother whose struggles will cut you to the core.
The flawless writing is both emotionally resonant and tantalizingly
suspenseful as we try to figure out the secrets and lies behind a
missing person and a murder. Every chapter is more addictive than
the last, leading to a stunning ending that you won't see coming.
Leah Konen is an astonishing talent
*Samantha Bailey*
With breathless suspense and cliffhangers in nearly every chapter,
Leah Konen has written a pitch-perfect thriller with a plot so
propulsive the pages practically turn themselves. Not only is You
Should Have Told Me packed with stunning surprises and brow-raising
reveals; it is also an unflinching exploration of the dark side of
new motherhood - one that, too often, women are discouraged from
sharing
*Megan Collins*
Atmospheric and deeply thought-provoking, You Should Have Told Me
is both a page-turning mystery and a deft exploration of the thorny
intersection of marriage and parenthood and the complex, often
fraught reality of new motherhood
