FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ELIZABETH IS MISSING

All Liam ever wanted was to help Cassie reach her full potential; to push her body to new extremes. Exercise, determination, being the optimum versions of themselves together forever. And Liam always knew what was best.

Nothing could break their intense love for one another, not Liam’s obsessive desire for physical perfection or his relentless control of every aspect of Cassie’s life. Until the day he pushes Cassie far beyond her limits, and she walks out of their flat and away from their toxic relationship for good.

Two years on and Cassie is stronger, fitter, healthier than ever before. And then she sees him – Liam – those green eyes, those stirring muscles. Something inside her flips.

But she holds the power now.

It’s Liam’s turn to sweat.

Critics Review

Taut, compulsive, and unsettling ... SWEAT had me holding my breath until the final, brilliant end
Jennie Godfrey
Sweat will keep you guessing until the very last page...
Vogue Williams
Will have you glued to the story through every twist and turn. I absolutely loved it!
Kate Hamer
Part pulsing psychological thriller, part subversive meditation on the way we use (and abuse) our bodies, part noir-ish twisted revenge fantasy, SWEAT is like nothing I've ever read before. So addictive it made me miss a tube stop, so unsettling it made me think twice about going to the gym!
Sara Collins
An inspired set-up. A clever dynamic that paves the way for a cat-and-mouse thriller. Propulsive
Sunday Times
A maze-like game of revenge. Unsettling. Blends a critique of wellness culture with a slow-burn feminist thriller
Observer
Emma Healey's tale of control and revenge will have you hooked till the final page
Stylist
If you spend all of January trying to avoid diet culture, then you need to read this book
Cosmopolitan
A modern thriller about revenge, self-discipline, and control
Observer Magazine
Taut and twisty ... claustrophobic psychological tale ... becomes a slow-burn revenge thriller. Takes full advantage of shifting perspectives and disorientating power dynamics as acts of retribution escalate
Mail on Sunday
