Home can be a place. But for me it’s always been people. Nothing better than seeing you today @ccragan ❤️

It’s only the very best friends don’t bat an eye when you tell them you set your new book (too late to change) where multiple terrible things happen entirely in their gorgeous upstate home. (And praise be for testing and vaccines).

How close is too close? You’re about to find out. FRIENDS LIKE THESE, coming September 7, 2021.

✨✨

In this relentlessly twisty literary thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight, a desperate intervention brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation—a reunion marked by lies, betrayal, and murder.

Everyone has those friends. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, or how badly they’ve occasionally behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes—you show up. No questions asked.

Honestly, that’s how the five of us ended up here in the Catskills. We did have the best of intentions. Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can’t bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we’ll do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen. We’ll go so much farther than we ever thought we would.

In the end, maybe that’s what caught up with us. That, and the fact that we’re such a complicated group—so much history and so many big personalities. Secrets, too, that can slip out at the most inopportune moments. Of course, we love each other despite all of those things. We love each other no matter what.

There’s something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though. Or maybe that’s just us. After all, we’ve already been through so much together. And we have so very much to hide.

Pre-order or shelve on @goodreads now! Links in bio.

A GOOD MARRIAGE publishes in Poland tomorrow! 🇵🇱 Thank you,...

A GOOD MARRIAGE publishes in Poland tomorrow! 🇵🇱 Thank you, thank you @wydawnictwobukowylas! (And yes, that is me on the cover in my very best pandemic-wear. I resisted at first, but they were relentless.)

I’ve only ever been to Poland once, to the gorgeous Krakow many (many) years ago. It was the year I lived in London, furiously writing the first (of four) never to be published books. (RECONSTRUCTING AMELIA was lucky number five). I was desperate to finish, convinced that if I sold a book I wouldn’t have to go back and be a lawyer anymore. If you look closely in the pictures (past the unfortunate leather jacket) you can see that mix of hope and terror in my eyes. Spoiler: it took me another decade of writing book after rejected book to sell my first. Don’t give up folks—not yet, not ever.

Thank you so much @pennlaw for the lovely article about A GOOD MARRIAGE (link in bio). It’s not an exaggeration to say that I could not have written this legal thriller meets domestic suspense without you. And while the practice of law might not have been for me, I’m so appreciative of the lessons I learned at The University of Pennsylvania Law School, especially about our individual and collective duty to fight for justice, the vital importance of protecting the rule of law and the benefit of always thinking critically—about everything and everyone. Whatever my path, I will always carry those lessons with me and will be forever grateful.
