Critics Review

  • Praise for Rachel Price:

    ‘An instantly gripping, corkscrew-twisty 14+ thriller’ – The Guardian

    ‘Holly Jackson has smashed it again … The Reappearance of Rachel Price is the YA thriller of the year so far for me. It is a lit fuse that explodes in dramatic fashion, but also always stays focused on the characters at its heart. This is a twisty, ambiguous book that thrives in its entangled relationships, unpicking the secrets hidden within.’ – The Nerd Daily
