You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott
3.0

“You Will Know Me” is the first novel by Megan Abbott that I have read. It tells the story of parents, Katie and Eric, their daughter, Devon who is a star gymnast with Olympic potential, and a hit and run accident that will nearly shatter their lives.

I listened to the audiobook of “You Will Know Me” and although it kept my interest there was something about it that I didn’t love. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what that is though. The characters were well developed, and I understood the pressure the main characters were all under to get Devon to the Olympics. Maybe it was just that I didn’t relate to or really like any of the characters aside from Drew, Katie and Eric’s son who seems to be forgotten or overlooked all his life.

I also really didn’t like the ending, but no spoilers here. I do plan to give Megan Abbott books a chance though. Maybe this one just wasn’t for me.
