‘An incredibly fun, fast-paced blend of a teen spy thriller mixed with speculative elements. Augusta Pine is a complex hero, highly competent and deeply layered, and this was a fantastic, immersive read.’ * Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills * ‘Thrilling, clever and wickedly funny – Augusta Pine is the heroine we deserve.’ * Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders * ‘Augusta Pine Does Not Exist masterfully blends classic, adrenaline-pumping action with futuristic tech and next gen espionage. This is the future of thriller books – literally.’ * Kayvion Lewis, author of Thieves’ Gambit * ‘Bold, clever and original, Augusta Pine Does Not Exist is a twisty, tense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more. I can’t wait to read it again.’ * Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First * ‘A tense thrill ride of a book. Augusta Pine is the fearless anti-heroine we all need.’ * Benjamin Dean, author of How to Die Famous * ‘Augusta Pine Does Not Exist is clever, twisty and very funny. It’s fast paced but also packs an emotional punch (part Die Hard, part We Were Liars). I absolutely inhaled the book and can’t wait to read whatever Emily writes next.’ * Emily Barr, author of The One Memory of Flora Banks * ‘Big thrills, stunning twists and heaps of fun, this is a wickedly smart, fast-paced, up-all-night thriller which I raced through. And hats off to any writer who can made me care so deeply for an AI spybot!’ * S. J. Green, author of Noah Can’t Even * ‘Utterly unputdownable. Get used to being on the edge of your seat! A twisty, clever and compelling thriller. Augusta Pine may not exist, but my love for this book is real and undeniable.’ * Emily Cooper, author of Season of Fear * ‘A super-smart, speculative spy thriller with a kickass main character – it has everything I love in a YA book! * J. L. Simmonds, author of Run Away With Me * ‘Augusta Pine Does Not Exist is a high stakes, high adrenalin, high-tech spy thriller that grips you from the explosive first page and does not let go. Augusta is a smart, funny, kick-ass heroine with skills that give James Bond a run for his money. The twists are relentless, and the locked-down apartment-building setting is tense and claustrophobic. It's The Naturals meets Die Hard and is perfect for fans of Holly Jackson.’ * Kate Francis, author of Circle of Liars *
