Until Alison

Praise

“Until Alison so vibrantly captures a particular time and place in life—with its nostalgia, its tension, its fine-tuned depiction of class. Kate Russo is a deft and compulsively readable storyteller.” —Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had and Same As It Ever Was

“Instantly earning a place in the canon of dead girl college campus novels, Kate Russo’s Until Alison is a chillingly readable tale about adolescent cruelty, popularity, and class. When the body of her former classmate, Alison, is discovered at a local swimming hole, Rachel Nardelli embarks on a reluctant exhumation of their friendship, capturing in forensic detail the horrors of eighth-grade rivalry, and how far teenagers will go in the name of self-preservation. Exposing the tension between the crimes we commit in our youth and the people we become as adults, Until Alison is a masterclass in middle school angst.” —Ellie Eaton, author of The Divines

“The perfect challenge to the sepia-toned escapism of your standard campus murder-mystery. The cruelties and compromises of youth and the menace of rape culture are under the magnifying glass in this bold, confronting thriller.” —Kate Weinberg, author of The Truants and There’s Nothing Wrong with Her
