The Fever -- Megan Abbott | Goodreads
The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community.
The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hockey star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community.
As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.
A chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of desire,The Fever affirms Megan Abbot's reputation as "one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation" (Laura Lippman).
Y'all are in for a treat today. I wish I had gotten the chance to read and review this book -- it looks really interesting and I've heard such great things about Megan Abbott's writing -- but alas I'm moving soon and didn't think I could get to it in time. However, that means that one of you will have the opportunity to read this lovely book!
This giveaway is US only, but I hope that all of you will consider checking out The Fever.
