Recenzii

Captivating, serpentine and affecting, Nicola Maye Goldberg'sNothing Can Hurt Yousubverts the tropes of the "dead girl" genre in ways that impart its female characters with a dark majesty and mystery all their own
Gripping, sharp and sultry - I couldn't put it down
A superbly unsettling account of the aftermath of a murder ... For a perceptive and moving account of people trying to process a senseless act, look no further
An utterly compulsive read ... A breath of fresh air in the realm of the thriller
Fascinating ... The book is less about the murder itself than about its aftermath, the long tendrils of guilt, sadness, anger and confusion that stretch out from a single act, wrapping themselves around everyone they touch
[An] incisive true crime novel ... It serves as a powerful comment on all the female voices missing in most commercial thrillers
The writing here is sparkling and the detective work, refreshingly, internal rather than external . Goldberg has a delightful eye for detail, too, and is just as good at sketching middleaged men as she is of girls on the verge of womanhood
This unsettling, sinuous novel subtly explores the case's fallout among those closest to it
I read this in one sitting. Fascinating and unique
[An] alarming, transfixing tale told from several different vantage points ... A more literaryGone Girlfor the new decade
Like a gothic Olive Kitteridge mixed with Gillian Flynn ... The cumulative effect of this book is masterful, a small-scale renovation of a seemingly exhausted genre
I can't think of another book with such unique storytelling ... So adept and intricate I devoured it in two sittings, then went back to revisit all the subtle character links
If you lovedLittle Fires Everywhere, you'll be all over this intoxicating read ... It's inspired by a true story, and will leave you thinking about how women are treated in life - and in death.
An intoxicating, lyrical and honest journey into the traumatic murder of a young woman and its reverberating anguish ... I could not stop reading this book, and was haunted by it long after I finished
Fascinating, intimate and clever; it reminded me ofThree Women. Reading it was like playing with Russian dolls, but in reverse
I read the first page and couldn't stop. So original
It's moody, it's dark, and it's full of the same kinds of tough, angry, scarred (and of course beautiful) women that madeSharp Objectsso compelling
Haunting
Tender, brutal, beautiful. This book haunts me
A melancholy thing about the stories and images and people that haunt, rather than another post-mortem on a pretty dead girl. I loved it
A daring, electric debut ... This novel feels wholly new - Goldberg elegantly destroys all the "dead girl" tropes we've tired of, and in doing so reinvents the thriller for a new generation - her heroines, like her voice, are wise, darkly funny and often startlingly beautiful
Nicola Maye Goldberg articulates a new kind of darkness within the female psyche - one that makes this book pulse forth with danger and suspense. Between the unexpected turns and the sharp sentences, it's nearly impossible to stop reading
Nothing Can Hurt Youis smart and human and true, simultaneously frightening and tender. Goldberg has written a gripping and tremendously searing book, one that will stay with me for a long time in ways I can't yet entirely imagine
The pleasure of falling into Goldberg's taut thriller is in some ways a trap, a literary trompe l'oeil that momentarily screens us from whatNothing Can Hurt Youis actually about. Investigating the relationships between women, voyeurism and violence, Goldberg elegantly excavates the ways in which crime simultaneously repulses and compels us, she reminds us why we are forever obsessed with looking at things that we are not supposed to see
Goldberg's razor-sharp, intricately constructed tale, with its varied voices, will leave few readers unmoved. Fans of literary thrillers will relish this incisive account of murder and its aftermath
A dark, moreish read that reminded me of books like Celeste Ng'sEverything I Never Told You. [It] takes the reader to unexpected places but it illuminates the events all the more deeply as a result
A different kind of crime novel: instead of trying to spot the killer we strive to make sense of something so needless and tragic. A powerful depiction of loss and a thoughtful meditation on violence
