A Novel

De: Cambria Brockman

"A compulsive page-turner with shades of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History peopled by a new generation." (Catherine Steadman, New York Times best-selling author of Something in the Water)

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Good Housekeeping

In her first weeks at Hawthorne College, Malin is swept up into a tight-knit circle that will stick together through all four years. There’s Gemma, an insecure theater major from London; John, a tall, handsome, wealthy New Englander; Max, John’s cousin, a shy pre-med major; Khaled, a wisecracking prince from Abu Dhabi; and Ruby, a beautiful art history major. But Malin isn’t like the rest of her friends. She’s an expert at hiding her troubled past. She acts as if she shares the preoccupations of those around her - dating, partying - all while using her extraordinary insight to detect their deepest vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

By Senior Day, on the cusp of graduation, Malin’s secrets - and those of her friends - are revealed. While she scrambles to maintain her artfully curated image, her missteps set in motion a devastating chain of events that ends in a murder. And as fragile relationships hang in the balance and close alliances shift, Malin must test the limits of what she’s capable of to stop the truth from coming out.

In a mesmerizing novel that peels back the innumerable layers of a seductive protagonist, debut author Cambria Brockman brings to life an entrancing story of friendship, heartbreak, and betrayal.

Praise for Tell Me Everything

“Gripping...Brockman paints an unnerving portrait of the power people hold over one another - especially as they blur the line between protective and obsessive.” (Time)

"At once a complex thriller and antihero origin story, Cambria Brockman’s riveting debut is a true page-turner." (Lisa Lutz, New York Times best-selling author of the Spellman series and The Passenger)

"The aptly named Malin, as smart as she is misanthropic, narrates this tale of collegiate rivalry - we see the Maine campus and her flawed friends through her disaffected eyes, even as she conceals the details of what has left one of them dead. In this dark romp through a world of privilege and petty slights, it’s hard not to get caught up in the question of which of the characters is doomed, and who is most responsible." (Caite Dolan-Leach, author of Dead Letters)

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Brockman’s novel of secrets and murder at a New England college will undoubtedly remind readers of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. Dripping with drama and mystery, Tell Me Everything is a page turner to the last.” (Newsweek)

“The development of Malin as a narrator is truly inspired.... [She] draws riveting attention to humankind’s vulnerability to evil.... A truly chilling thriller with a twist so quiet, you never hear it coming.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

“Tension builds in a narrative that switches back and forth between Senior Day and freshman year, punctuated by flashbacks to events in Malin's childhood, and the tension is amplified by the focus on an insular group in an isolated setting.... Brockman's first novel will appeal to readers looking for another Gone Girl." (Booklist, starred review)

Drawn out

I feel like the story had potential but the plot was drawn out with added unnecessary fillers. Would have liked to heard more about the 3 future incidents that were hinted at towards the end of the book.

Hmmmm

Ok, I finished it. was it worth it? Not really. it was a long story with almost no connectivity until the end, and, even then, it wasn't worth the wait, in my opinion. was it the worst book? No, and not difficult to listen to if you just want something on in the background. I found myself drifting a lot.
the narrator was good except when she did male voices, they just came out sounding creepy and changed the tone of the story if you aren't really paying attention.

beware

amateurish, boring and just plain poorly-written. it received really good reviews on Amazon. I feel like everyone must have had a big large glass of crazy.

One of my favorite reads of 2019!

I chose this book on a whim and I'm so grateful to whatever made me do so because it had me hooked from the beginning. Every time I thought I knew where it was going to go, the author had another twist up her sleeve.

Just meh

Covered a lot of mental health topics, but nothing very shocking about it. A lot of repetitive chapters. Not a terrible read, but certainly not captivating by any means.

WOW

This was an interesting book. If switches back and forth between the main characters childhood and her present day life. Not a feel good book, it is a dark and twisted tale. I enjoyed it and will be trying other books by this author.

Well written and narrated...

the story was well written and narrated. I didn't love the ending hence the four stars but other than that, good read.

Surprising- and highly enjoyed

Without giving away any details… I really loved this story line and narrator. I felt like I was being told a life story by a friend. The reality of the difficulty navigating relationships, friendships, and some of the situations in the book were so relatable that they were able to be felt strongly (in my opinion). I sobbed when I finally got to the climax of the childhood plot-line. I truly got wrapped up in this story, not in the “edge of my seat can’t put this book down” type of way, but in the way that I felt that I knew the characters and their experiences. I needed to know if they were okay and to hear the whole story because I was emotionally invested in their well-being.

I was not ready

You were guessing till the last chapter . The characters were believable you were pulled into the story.. well done !!!

Dark story

The story was well written and well developed. The performance was very good. However, the story is dark and disturbing. I regret bringing this book into my home, and into my head. The foul language was so offensive--I can't believe I listened to the entire book, but the story was gripping, until the end. I am deleting it.
