My Absolute Darling: A Novel

"Turtle is a 14-year-old girl who eats raw eggs for breakfast and carries a gun. She has learned everything about survival from her gritty father, which doesn’t always mean good things. As Turtle starts to make inroads with her classmates, her widower father starts to see his control over his daughter slip. My Absolute Darling is imbued with a beautiful tension that evolves unexpectedly, transforming it from a coming-of-age novel to a thriller that had me gasping in shock so frequently that I got looks on the plane."
