Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his 16th birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin.

Histoire
Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure. With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.

Histoire
Mary is a quiet middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can’t look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. What she finds instead are visions of terrifying mutilated specters that come with increasing regularity.

Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.

A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort—a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny", and seem to move and speak as one.

Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

Description
Entertainment Weekly's Breakout Author to Watch in 2020
"Brilliant and stunning...an absolute must read." (Gillian Flynn)
"A well-constructed package of dynamite." (Stephen King)
A most anticipated book by The New York Times • USA Today • Entertainment Weekly • Marie Claire • Elle • Harper's Bazaar • Bustle • Newsweek • New York Post • Esquire • Real Simple • The Sunday Times • The Guardian
One of the most buzzed-about debuts in years
An international sensation sold in 24 territories and counting
Exploring the psychological dynamics of the relationship between a precocious yet naïve teenage girl and her magnetic and manipulative teacher, a brilliant, all-consuming listen that marks the explosive debut of an extraordinary new writer.
2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, 15-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful 42-year-old English teacher.
2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: Remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenager - and who professed to worship only her - may be far different from what she has always believed?
Alternating between Vanessa’s present and her past, My Dark Vanessa juxtaposes memory and trauma with the breathless excitement of a teenage girl discovering the power her own body can wield. Thought-provoking and impossible to put down, this is a masterful portrayal of troubled adolescence and its repercussions that raises vital questions about agency, consent, complicity, and victimhood. Written with the haunting intimacy of The Girls and the creeping intensity of Room, My Dark Vanessa is an era-defining novel that brilliantly captures and reflects the shifting cultural mores transforming our relationships and society itself.
Includes a bonus conversation with Kate Elizabeth Russell, Grace Gummer, and Jessica Williams (editor of My Dark Vanessa).

Horrifying and Brave
My Dark Vanessa recounts the story of Vanessa, a lonely 15-year -old girl who is groomed to engage in a sexual relationship with her English teacher. The story is told in two narratives which alternate between Vanessa’s adolescence and adulthood. The interchange of these accounts allows the reader to understand the calculated manipulation of sexual grooming while exploring the long-term psychological consequences of abuse. In both narratives, the main character contemplates society’s own ephebophilia (“sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents”) which normalizes the sexual objectification of teens in contemporary pop culture. My Dark Vanessa was, at times, a very difficult book to listen to. There were times when my skin was crawling, my stomach was nauseated, and my mouth was locked in a grimace. During some chapters I had to stop listening because I was so angry, or upset, or revolted. My Dark Vanessa sometimes felt horrific, but the novel is so brave and well constructed that it is impossible to award My Dark Vanessa anything less than five stars. Narrator Grace Gummer (whom I later discovered is Meryl Streep’s daughter) gives an excellent performance, though I think the act of listening held me an unwilling captive to sections that I might otherwise have skimmed or skipped.

Challenging listen, but highly recommended
Dark Vanessa is an uncomfortable, challenging listen that takes the listener into the shoes of a woman who was abused as a child and the consequences of the abuse. Grace did an incredible job narrating the character's voices.
TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual abuse, pedophilia, and coercion.

I need a shower
Just listening to this book made me feel skeezy... I guess I am more sensitive to predatory relationships than I realized . The writing was decent, the author captures the naivety of a first "love" fairly well. I don't think I would recommend this book and I only finished it because I'd paid for it...

Haunting
This book was beautifully written, confusing, horrific to read at times. It's haunting me. It is so complex, so conflicting. Just brilliant. I'm going to buy it in print so I can lend it to people in order to discuss and unpack. So thought provoking.
Would recommend 100% though may be too hard for some.

Was told it was a lot but I didn't expect it to make me question my life interactions with men growing up. The author did an amazing job with this novel it's not for everyone if you have traumas I'd avoid this novel unless you know you can handle the theme in it since it doesn't hold back.

Absolutely Brilliant
Profound and captivating. I found it intense. So many of the scenes and the descriptions of even the smallest actions instantly seemed inappropriate, and yet, it took me to reach adulthood to realize some of my own experiences were just as inappropriate. In fact, it took me until this novel - to hear those scenes play out - to realize how wrong so many moments in my own life have been.
I love how accurately the author really highlights the way that we all explain away moments in life that we can feel are wrong. We know something is wrong, whether in the moment or shortly afterwards, and the idea that we have all been complicit at times is an important piece. As well as the continuing of a romantic relationship or fixation after an assault has occurred, without trying to exhaustingly dissect the 'why'.
I also think that using the perspective of someone who does not want to come forward was important. To grant that story - the actual story we never hear about - to be told in a safe (fictional) environment.
I don't think I'll ever be able to say enough about this novel, honestly.
