Resumen del Editor

In this “tale of toxic friendship at its most riveting” (People), a young woman finds herself inexorably drawn to repeating the worst mistakes of her past.

“Masterly, mendacious, and a total thrill ride.... Not since a certain Mr. Ripley have I been so consumed in another’s covetous desires.” (Justin Torres, best-selling author of We the Animals)

At age 30, Rose is fierce and smart, both self-aware and singularly blind to her power over others. After moving to New York, she is unexpectedly swallowed up by her past when she reunites with Lacie, the former best friend she betrayed in high school. Captivated once again by her old friend’s strange charisma, Rose convinces Lacie to let her move in, and the two fall into an intense, uneasy friendship.

While tutoring the offspring of Manhattan’s wealthy elite, Rose works on a novel she keeps secret - because it stars Lacie and details the betrayal that almost turned deadly. But the difference between fiction and fact, past and present, begins to blur, and Rose soon finds herself increasingly drawn to Lacie’s boyfriend, exerting a sexual power she barely understands she possesses, and playing a risky game that threatens to repeat the worst moments of her and Lacie’s lives.

Sharp-witted and wickedly addictive, Everyone Knows How Much I Love You is a uniquely dark entry into the canon of psychologically rich novels of friendship, compulsive behavior, and the dangerous reverberations of our actions, both large and small.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Everyone Knows How Much I Love You is breathless and precise at once, utterly gripping, animated by the propulsive unfolding of hungers that can't be controlled or fully fathomed. It aches with insight and longing. It seduced me from the very first page with the pull of its own fierce gravity, like a darkly turning planet - its atmosphere swirling with mysterious, combustible desires; its truths merciless and bone-deep.” (Leslie Jamison, New York Times best-selling author of Make It Scream, Make It Burn)

“A suspenseful, sexy, and gorgeously written excavation of best-friend envy. I read it with horror. And recognition. And great delight.” (Michelle Huneven, author of Blame and Off Course)

“Everyone Knows How Much I Love You is masterly, mendacious, and a total thrill ride. I was hooked instantly, laughing alongside Rose, alternately cheering and chastising her entanglements and escalations. McCarthy is an edgy writer and the prose is all at once darkly comic, sexy, and razor-sharp in its psychological insights. Not since a certain Mr. Ripley have I been so consumed in another’s covetous desires.” (Justin Torres, best-selling author of We the Animals)

just.bad.

This book is just genuinely bad. You absolutely HATE the narrator; her actions are creepy, her thoughts extraordinarily judgmental and bizarre, and her random smutty scenes are just unbearable. Would not recommend, at all.

Don't waste your time

what was the point? there was absolutely no climax. my jaw is still on the floor from the shock that this actually got past an editor. getting a refund now. pass on this one. narrator was great though.
