A suspenseful real-time page-turner with an ending that demands to be talked about -- Erin Kelly Room 706 is as tender as it is surprising, a gripping interrogation of womanhood-before and after marriage and children change our identities. I'm sure I won't be the only one nodding my head throughout. I adored this brilliant novel -- Sarah Jessica Parker Room 706 explores what makes us who we are, why we make the choices we do and what might have happened if we didn't. The pacing of this novel is immaculate. Is it a thriller? It's most definitely thrilling, heart-in-mouth writing. But it's also so poignant, heart-breaking and utterly human, and the ending is PERFECT -- Joanna Cannon Unputdownable is over-used in my opinion but this book really is. I devoured it. Brilliant premise, gorgeously-drawn characters, thoughtful yet tense, I had goosebumps at the end and I haven't stopped thinking about it. Out next year it's going to be huge, trust me on this. -- Jennie Godfrey Ellie Levenson's explosive debut is dangerously brilliant -- Loretta Rothschild Ellie Levenson writes with sensitivity about marriage, motherhood, and the transgressive pursuit of desire.
