Publisher's summary

Zoje Stage delivers another knockout with a blood-chilling follow-up to international sensation Baby Teeth, taking readers back into the unsteady world of a young sociopath who’s all grown up.

Hanna is no stranger to dark thoughts: as a young child, she tried to murder her own mother. But that was more than sixteen years ago. And extensive therapy—and writing letters to her younger brother—has since curbed those nasty tendencies.

Now twenty-four, Hanna is living an outwardly normal life of domestic content. Married to real estate agent Jacob, she’s also stepmother to his teenage daughter Joelle. They live in a beautiful home, and Hanna loves her career as a phlebotomist—a job perfectly suited to her occasional need to hurt people.

But when Joelle begins to change in ways that don’t suit Hanna’s purposes, her carefully planned existence threatens to come apart. With life slipping out of her control, Hanna reverts to old habits, determined to manipulate the events and people around her. And the only thing worse than a baby sociopath is a fully grown one.

With its dark humor and chillingly seductive protagonist, Dear Hanna is a standalone sequel sure to thrill returning and new readers alike.

Critic reviews

“All will squirm uncomfortably and yet be unwilling to look away, furiously turning the pages until the final twist is revealed. A great choice for those who enjoy the work of Sarah Pinborough, Catriona Ward, and Katrina Monroe.” Booklist

“Original, memorable, deftly crafted, horrifically chilling, Dear Hanna is a simply riveting read from start to finish…Very highly recommended…” Midwest Book Review

“Once you get inside the head of this suburban whirlpool of psychological madness, there is no escape until the shocking final pages.” —Daniel Kraus, New York Times bestselling author of Whalefall

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Twisty! Big Hanna fan. I thought more would happen at the end though. I didn’t read the first one and didn’t think I missed out on anything.

Hanna is as devious as ever!

This was an amazing sequel! Hanna is such a fun character. She’s deliciously devious and slowly unhinges as the story progresses. Zoje did a wonderful job incorporating Hanna’s past issues into this story in a meaningful way that truly explains Hanna’s actions and thought processes. Please keep writing Hanna’s adventures! Hanna is the female Joe Goldberg, and I love it!

Decent read

I LOVE that this takes place in the Burgh, so awesome to see my neighborhood depicted. The story was cool, narration on point, tho they shoulda used someone with a yinzer accent to make it better, we don't talk like that here. The plot was ok, tho it didn't quite ring the same as the lil girl we met in baby teeth. Great book, but just like baby teeth, the ending was very lacking, like there really wasn't a real resolution. Idk... still a fun read.

the dive into craziness

I pretty much had a sense of the story and what was going to happen from the beginning. It was fun to revisit this character though.

My favorite book of the year

And not just because it’s set in Pittsburgh. #412 this book has all of my favorite things. Well developed characters, dark humor, intense, emotion, and lots of “omg., that’s so messed up“ moments. Definitely my favorite book of the year. The narration was also exceptional.

Nice sequel

This book was pretty good, but it was very anticlimactic imho. I really enjoyed Baby Teeth, but this one was lacking the gritty dreadful vibes of the first book. I would have liked to see more sessions with the therapist, more scenes with Hanna's parents. I feel like there were some really good directions it could have gone, and it just fizzled at the end.
