A chilling exploration into obsession, reconciliation and revenge in 2021's must-read paperback
Stephanie Wrobel is the author of The Recovery of Rose Gold, a
Sunday Times and international bestseller that has sold in
twenty-two countries. Her second novel, This Might Hurt, is an
attempt to answer the questions- what sort of person joins a cult?
And what sort of person leads one?
Wrobel lives in New York City with her husband and her dog, Moose
Barkwinkle.
An absolutely brilliant book; funny, dark, authentic and a total
page turner. I loved it
