"A psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The
Girl on the Train. 13 Minutes takes a haunting look at the dark
side of teenage friendships...Pinborough's sharp prose drives the
novel through a series of incredible twists and turns."
--BookPage Readers drawn to the kind of debauched chicanery made
popular in novels such as Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will tear
through this edgy thriller." --Booklist "Pinborough's thrilling
murder mystery is filled with twists and turns... But at its most
basic level, this is a story of petty high school betrayals,
popularity contests with toxic frenemies, and vividly depicted peer
pressure, all of which combine to create a painfully real
novel."
--Publishers Weekly "13 Minutes is an undeniable page-turner, but
don't turn too quickly or you'll risk missing Pinborough's
crackling language and nuanced depiction of the thrill--and
terror--of adolescent friendships." --Tara Altebrando, author of
The Leaving and The Possible
Darkly fascinating...Red herrings lead to a satisfying conclusion."
--Kirkus "An intricately plotted, fast-paced crime story...Mean
Girls meets Donna Tartt's The Secret History for the Instagram
age." --The Times (London) Juicy and involving...Sociopathic and
garden-variety mean girls, unreliable narration, sexy bits,
over-the-top cruelty, and tragic consequences combine here to
please many thriller readers.
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Sophisticated
and twisty enough to please adults of all ages." --The Irish Times
"Masterfully crafted...The book's evocation of the dark world of
school, with all its petty betrayals, casual cruelties and toxic
friendships, is painfully spot on." --The Telegraph "Perspective is
everything in this clever tale." --Financial Times "An unsettling
psychological thriller, the book plunges you into the frankly scary
world of teenage girls." --Fabulous, Sun on Sunday
"Many, many thrillers have been compared to Gillian Flynn's 2012
bestseller Gone Girl, but Sarah Pinborough's masterfully crafted YA
novel 13 Minutes might be one of the few to actually merit the
comparison. The book's evocation of the dark world of school, with
all its petty betrayals, casual cruelties and toxic friendships, is
painfully spot on." --The Telegraph
