The It Girl, the brilliant new psychological thriller by bestselling author Ruth Ware, has debuted at #2 in this week’s New York Times bestsellers list for hardback fiction. You can see the full list here.

The It Girl has become one of the most anticipated books of the summer, with Publisher’s Weekly writing in a starred review:

“This exceptional psychological thriller from Ware probes how much one can trust others—and one’s self… Alternating past and present chapters build toward a gripping denouement as nicely chosen details bring each character vividly to life. This showcases Ware’s gifts to the fullest.”

Everyone wanted her life.
Someone wanted her dead.

It was Hannah who found April’s body ten years ago.
It was Hannah who didn’t question what she saw that day.
Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison?
 
She needs to know the truth.
 
Even if it means questioning her own friends.
Even if it means putting her own life at risk.

Because if the killer wasn’t a stranger, it’s someone she knows…

The It Girl is out now in the US and Canada, and in the UK on 4th August. Grab your US copy here, and pre-order your UK copy here.
