Ruth Ware‘s hotly anticipated mystery thriller The It Girl has received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly.

“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.” You can read the review in full here.

April Coutts-Cliveden was the magnetic centre of a group of friends at Oxford; a decade later, the man accused of killing her dies in prison, but new evidence suggests that he may have been innocent and that one of her old friends may be hiding something.

The It Girl will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. You can pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
