It caught my eye several times when searching through books to read and I finally gave it a chance. I wish I had not wasted my time, to be honest.The characters fell very flat for me and I can't say that I understood or cared about any of them by the end of the book. It is mostly told through the mom, Kate's, perspective and I could never understand if she was mentally unstable, or just really paranoid, protective parent. She alludes to not remembering things from the past, having false memories, other people remember events differently than she did... but in the end none of those innuendos came to mean anything, which was highly unsatisfying. It rang false as if the author just wanted to set up an unreliable narrator or a fuzzy story she could alter as needed. The author also threw in strange visions from the younger brother, who was told he just had bad dreams all the time and was dismissed as usual with these very odd claims just left ignored.It seemed as if we should feel sympathetic toward these parents who dedicated their entire life to make their daughter a gymnastics phenom... but I was actually more disgusted by them. They raised a girl who was also not likeable, behaved in very questionable ways, kept secrets, sacrificed their younger child, and only made love in the middle of night when half asleep?? Strange...The unfolding of the mystery was slow and painful. I just wanted to get to some answers and even when I got them, I felt let down.It was interesting to learn a bit more about the world of competitive gymnastics, but again it was also depressing to learn about it. Note to self: never let my children go into gymnastics! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Meh *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016* I admit that my expectations for this book were high. Maybe too high. When this book was good, it was very, very good. But when it was dull...it was truly dull. In the end, the dull outweighed the good.The characters were unique, the setting had potential, and the subject matters covered a lot of taboos. But, I didn't like it.At one point, the mother in the book states that she lives in a "sick" house (double-entendre). It is an honest statement about the fractured and pathetic home in which she has built for her husband and children. The ending for me was expected and held little surprise. A lot happens to this family and it appears they learned nothing from their mistakes. I hugged my own girls a little tighter tonight after this nightmare of a fictional family. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small Towns, Dark Hearts *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016* 'Less than five feet tall, a hard, smooth shell of a body. Hipless, breastless still, but the way she’d transformed her body in the last two years, thighs like trunks, shoulders and biceps straining her tank-top straps, staggered Katie.'Abbott has hit a rich groove of material in exploring the darkness at the heart of girls' lives. She has sought out the noir inherent in their feverish, hidden worlds so now you look at cheerleaders with a bit of awe and maybe some fear. While teenage gymnast Devon is the center of this book, the story is told through her mother Katie's eyes. In classic noir fashion, what the narrator doesn't know fuels as much suspense as what she does know -- and wishes she didn't.'Some people would always be jealous of Devon, the way they were jealous of all beautiful and brilliant things.'It was brilliant that they released this in the midst of the Olympics while Simone Biles soared to victory. The contrast between the cheering crowds and the sordid small town life behind it give this story its power.'“The greatest day of our life,” Devon said, and everyone laughed at the our, except it was true, wasn’t it?'It's one thing to say a family makes sacrifices to get their child to Olympic level competition. It's quite another to see how far-reaching their are, from Katie's worry that she's neglecting Devon's little brother to her own isolation and fear. She watches the changes in her daughter obsessively, but there are changes in her husband Eric, too.'It was such a power, one she could never match. Even more good-looking as the years skipped by, his features settling on himself, the hot gaze of booster moms and dads transforming him, he was always able to convey the feeling that he believed firmly in all the right things.'It's a commonplace to say parents live through their children. Abbott shows how much they can lose themselves in that pursuit. Katie's own fears and body horror arise in her reactions to Devon's career. When they meet with the coach she blurts out the lurking shame and fear with such unconscious alarm that it shocks even her.'“Devon’s going to get breasts, Teddy,” Katie blurted. “And hips. And everything else. She’s going to be a woman.”'The tensions underscore the entire novel: the murder, but even more so the hidden truths and fears that people reveal, sometimes without realising that's what they're doing. I figured out the 'solution' to the crime by chapter nine, but honestly, that is only a small part of what compels you through the book. As Katie begins to dig into the events leading up to it, what she increasingly discovers is what she doesn't know.'That’s what parenthood was about, wasn’t it? Slowly understanding your child less and less until she wasn’t yours anymore but herself.'And yet we make assumptions, so many assumptions. The horrible weight Katie feels from joking about her daughter's 'Frankenfoot' conveys so well the power of the stories we tell ourselves. Devon's own counter-narrative shows that point of view is everything in a story.Abbott manages to slip in Vonnegut, Dylan Thomas and Joseph Heller without ever making the references feel laboured because Katie's voice feels authentic. We know more than she does, we put clues together, and yet each new revelation shows us there's so much more.'Something was wrong, wronger than it even seemed. She just wasn’t sure what it was.'Dive in: you will know her. You might not like what you see, but you won't be able to look away.'She hadn’t learned, no one had taught her...that the things you want, you never get them. And if you do, they’re not what you thought they’d be.' --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42374813-you-will-know-me](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/42374813-you-will-know-me) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
