This Might Hurt





A story of sisters, secrets and a sanctuary with a dark agenda from author of Sunday Times bestseller The Recovery of Rose Gold

Welcome to Wisewood. We'll keep your secrets, if you keep ours.

High-flier Natalie Collins always has a plan. Her younger sister Kit rarely does.

Until she finds Wisewood. When Kit joins the self-help retreat on a secluded Maine island, Natalie has concerns. Why does it forbid contact with the outside world? Is it a cult?

Then, after months of silence, she receives a message:

Would you like to come tell your sister what you did - or should we?

Who is digging into the Collins' past? Natalie will have to go to Wisewood to find out.

But it turns out Wisewood is far easier to get into than to leave...

Praise for This Might Hurt

Praise for The Recovery of Rose Gold

-

Sensationally good - two complex characters power the story like a nuclear reaction, and won't let you forget them. Wrobel is one to watch

Lee Child

A rivetingly nasty psychological duel

Sunday Times

Pacy and vivid, this is a delicate, merciless probing of a topic as unsettling as it is intriguing

Guardian

It's rare for something genuinely fresh to come along in this genre, but this book has it all - a killer premise, twisty plotting, crisp writing and compelling characters. Dazzling, dark and utterly delicious
