Waterstones Says

From the author of modern classic Elizabeth is Missing comes another breathtakingly suspenseful page-turner boasting an unforgettable narrator.

'Finally, this felt like revenge.'

I was out of the labyrinth, it was all a memory, no map needed. I could enjoy the scenery. Enjoy looking. So I looked.

The tautening skin, the stirring muscles, those green eyes, vibrant despite their sightlessness. I stared at him as if he were a picture. I stared at him the way women never get to stare at men: without fear.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Taut, compulsive, and unsettling ... SWEAT had me holding my breath until the final, brilliant end - Jennie Godfrey

Sweat will keep you guessing until the very last page… - Vogue Williams

Will have you glued to the story through every twist and turn. I absolutely loved it! - Kate Hamer

Part pulsing psychological thriller, part subversive meditation on the way we use (and abuse) our bodies, part noir-ish twisted revenge fantasy, SWEAT is like nothing I’ve ever read before. So addictive it made me miss a tube stop, so unsettling it made me think twice about going to the gym! - Sara Collins

An inspired set-up. A clever dynamic that paves the way for a cat-and-mouse thriller. Propulsive - Sunday Times

A maze-like game of revenge. Unsettling. Blends a critique of wellness culture with a slow-burn feminist thriller - Observer

Emma Healey's tale of control and revenge will have you hooked till the final page - The Style List, Stylist

If you spend all of January trying to avoid diet culture, then you need to read this book - Cosmopolitan

A modern thriller about revenge, self-discipline, and control - Eva Wiseman, Observer Magazine

Taut and twisty ... claustrophobic psychological tale ... becomes a slow-burn revenge thriller. Takes full advantage of shifting perspectives and disorientating power dynamics as acts of retribution escalate - Mail on Sunday

“Such a powerful story..”

Healy’s debut novel “Elizabeth is Missing” is one of my all-time favourite books. The subject matter of “Sweat” is quite challenging.

It is the story of Cassie, a survivor of a coercive-abusive relationship.... More

First of all can I just say that my star rating is just my opinion, I know that there will be lots of readers who will love this book but sadly it wasn't for me.
