Civilian Reader a highly dramatic and convincing thriller The Book Bag 13 Minutes is another fantastic demonstration of Sarah Pinborough's gifts for telling an enthralling tale. 9/10 Sci-Fi Bulletin The ending was typically haunting and overall this was, well, just damn terrific. One of my favourites of the year Liz Loves Books For a wonderful, absorbing crime thriller set against the backdrop of teenage menace and melodrama, you need not look further Words and Wormholes This is an exceptional, contemporary, thoughtprovoking thriller from an award-winning novelist. Rising Shadow 13 Minutes is an outstanding novel, one you absolutely shouldn't miss! I can already say for sure that this will be in my top reads of this year, if not the very top. I cannot recommend it highly enough Rather Too Fond of Books 13 Minutes is a carefully crafted thriller which is utterly absorbing and makes you think twice about the teenagers in your life... Books by Proxy Overall 13 Minutes is an unmissable read for lovers of gritty, thrilling YA fiction. Jess Loves Books Good characters, good plot, good pace GOOD BOOK! Do check it out. Dark Readers This dark psychological thriller delves into a world where popularity and appearances are as important as life or death. The characters are realistically flawed, from beautiful, selfish Tasha to creative, insecure Becca. The tale twists through police reports, diary entries, psychologist evaluations and accounts from both protagonists, allowing readers brief glimpses of the truth before the exciting finale. Highly recommended. Book Trust The book's evocation of the dark world of secondary school, with all its petty betrayals, casual cruelties and toxic friendships, is painfully spot on The Telegraph there is no holding back from the full gamut of sex, drugs and rock and roll. It is a dark and nasty tale of jealously and manipulation...the characters are intriguingly flawed, the narrative tension bow-twangingly tight and there's an absolute belter of a twist Independent on Sunday an intricately plotted, fast-paced crime story...Mean Girls meets Donna Tartt's The Secret History for the Instagram age The Times
