“It’s crazy good.” —Associated Press New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger is “one of the brightest stars in the game” (Dennis Lehane) and she is at the top of her game with Crazy Love You , a tale that is both “mesmerizing and unnerving from its first pages to its stunner of an ending” (Megan Abbott, author of The Fever ). “The pages fly by as Ian, the most unreliable narrator since Nick Dunne in Gone Girl leads us on a wild ride in this superb psychological thriller.” — Booklist (starred review) Darkness has a way of finding Ian when he is with Priss. Even when they were kids, playing in the woods of their small upstate New York town, he could feel it. Still, Priss was his best friend, his salvation from the bullies who teased him mercilessly and from his family’s deadly secrets. Now that they’ve both escaped to New York City, Ian is no longer the tortured victim. He is a talented and successful graphic novelist, and Priss…Priss is still trouble. The booze, the drugs, the sex—Ian is growing tired of late nights together trying to forget the past. Especially now that he’s met sweet, beautiful Megan, whose love makes him want to change for the better. But Priss doesn’t like change. Change makes her angry. And when Priss is angry, terrible things begin to happen… Praise for Crazy Love You : “Sharply drawn characters and occasional rest breaks of humor . . . Unger is adept at evoking the eerie, but she’s also capable of droll sociological commentary on the urban scene. . . . After reading Unger’s sinister thriller, anyone cavalier enough to think they can easily put the past to rest (and even live companionably with the dead) will think again.” ― Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post “Nothing is what it seems in this creepy romance novel.” ― The Oklahoman “Exhilarating and gut-wrenching . . . Proves to be complex and surprising in several ways, and Unger has a gift for telling a story with great characters while also manipulating the reader. . . . It’s crazy good.” ― Associated Press “Manages to keep us guessing.” ― Raleigh News & Observer “An extraordinary psychological thriller . . . Manages to do an incredible amount of things, all of them well, including a truly unique romantic triangle and the blurred lines between unconditional friendship and romantic infatuation. . . . A simmering tale of romantic obsession and angst in the tradition of Body Heat or Fatal Attraction , laced with the noirish spirit of James M. Cain. Wonderfully crafted and beautifully executed.” ― Providence Journal "CRAZY LOVE YOU kept me reading like a madwoman, desperate to find out what happens next. This is a haunting, compulsive tale that will have you under its spell long after you've closed the book." -- Tess Gerritsen, author of Die Again “Unger’s skillful portrayal of complex and traumatized characters make her latest psychological thriller one that will keep readers engaged from start to finish. . . . This imaginative tale . . . may be the author’s best work yet.” -- Library Journal (starred review) “Riveting . . . This is a complex, intricate story, yet the pages fly by as Ian, the most unreliable narrator since Nick Dunne in Gone Girl , leads us on a wild ride in this superb psychological thriller. Unger is at the top of her game here.”— Booklist (Starred review) “Darkly compelling psychological thriller.” ― Family Circle "Scores another bull's eye with this one. Classic Unger and a surefire hit." ― Kirkus Reviews “Emotionally involving . . . Unger skillfully keeps the reader off kilter as she delves into the psyches of Priss and Ian.” ― South Florida Sun-Sentinel "Suspenseful . . . Will keep readers hooked." ― Publishers Weekly “Crazy Love You ups the ante. Every time I thought I had a handle on what was really happening and why, [Unger] gave the plot another sly twist that left me scrambling to catch up. . . . Has enough supernatural elements to remind us of Stephen King territory.” ― Tampa Bay Times "Page-turning psychological suspense." ― DuJour Magazine.com “The psychological and paranormal dimensions of Crazy Love You are superbly drawn, endlessly fascinating and extremely frightening. The undertow of despair might not be safe for novice word-swimmers….A book so richly textured.” ― Florida Weekly “A deeply layered and finely textured novel about a special relationship that has taken a dark turn. It is a novel of obsession, unrequited love, loneliness and the rage that comes from not fitting in.” ― BookReporter “At first I thought I knew where Unger was driving me, but then she slammed on the brakes, turned and drove me right off a cliff.” ― Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Mesmerizing and unnerving from its first pages to its stunner of an ending, Lisa Unger's Crazy Love You is a tale you won't soon forget." -- Megan Abbott, author of The Fever "When I tell you I could not put this book down, I mean I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!! It is dark a
