A "shocking and perfect" best seller about family and ambition from the award-winning author of Dare Me and The Turnout (New York Times Book Review​).

How far will you go to achieve a dream? That's the question a celebrated coach poses to Katie and Eric Knox after he sees their daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful, compete. For the Knoxes there are no limits - until a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community and everything they have worked so hard for is suddenly at risk.

As rumors swirl among the other parents, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself irresistibly drawn to the crime itself. What she uncovers - about her daughter's fears, her own marriage, and herself - forces Katie to consider whether there's any price she isn't willing to pay to achieve Devon's dream.

From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl" (Janet Maslin), You Will Know Me is a breathless roller coaster of a novel about the desperate limits of parental sacrifice, furtive desire, and the staggering force of ambition.

Critic reviews

"The book to beat...in the 'Is it the next

Gone Girl?' sweepstakes." (Janet Maslin,

New York Times)
"Thriller Award-winner Abbott ( The Fever) takes a piercing look at what one family will sacrifice in the name of making their daughter a champion.... Abbott keenly examines the pressures put on girls' bodies and the fierce, often misguided love parents have for their children." ( Publishers Weekly)
"In true Abbott style, nothing is predictable here; the plot consistently confounds expectations with its clever twists and turns. Admirers of Patricia Highsmith, Laura Lippman, and Kimberly Pauley are in for a treat." ( Library Journal)

It was a fun read, but didn't rock my world.

Fast paced, easy read.

This story was engrossing - hard to stop listening. I just kept wondering what was coming next. The narrator was excellent! Don't know if the book would have been as good with someone else narrating. Would highly recommend.

So good!

Performance of this book was great and the rise and fall of the action within was very good. I could not tell if there was to be a sequel or not but if this is given to a young adult to read, I think a good discussion should be in order about the ending.

When I first purchased this book, I was skeptical. There are a lot of negative reviews, but I truly enjoyed it. The story is well written & the narrator does a good job of keeping one's attention. The plot is somewhat predictable, but not entirely. This is one of the few books I've listened to for long periods of time and not just in the car or while cleaning house.

Enjoyed very much

It was interesting to see the behind the scenes details of the gymnastics world. I enjoyed the book overall but the ending was weak at best.

Great book but ending was just ok

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Any additional comments?

Maybe it's me, but I find audio books that speak in the child-like voices annoying. In this case, lisp was irritating.

Interesting insight into Gymnastics world

While at the beginning it seems to be an average story the outcome is quite creepy. There's quite a bit to discuss about this book so for that reason I recommend it. Most of my club members didn't really like the characters very much and felt sorry for the boy

Creepy

4.5 stars. Even though I figured out the reveal about halfway through, it did nothing to diminish my enjoyment of this book. The writing is terrific—so many wonderful, thoughtful turns of phrase, and the way the author pulls you inside the head of the protagonist as her thoughts spiral steadily downward. That, combined with the plot and pacing, all come together to make a great story. And the narration was perfect—she really captured the emotion and subtlety of the characters.

Terrific
