Purchase options and add-ons

Phoebe stands on Pultenay Bridge trying to cover her face with her hair so she won't be recognized. Her tights are gashed from toe to thigh. She has lost a shoe. People keep looking.

Was it five, or ten minutes later she heard the commotion? Phoebe ran down the road until she saw. Mangled metal. Blood ran down the walls.

Phoebe believes this was of her making. She thought murder, and murder happened. She had told them her thoughts weren't just thoughts and now she must live with the consequences. Phoebe won't miss any more signs.

Who will be next to suffer? Phoebe directs her ire at her mother, scissors and knives all covertly pointing in her direction, but there are others to whom she is inexorably bound, her best friends Grace and Orla, and then there's Mr Jonasson. Any of them might find themselves caught in the crossfire. For Phoebe is many things, but she is not in control.

    Thousands, if not millions, of good books exist in the world, and I've read many of them. Some books transcend being good; they are the ones that leave their mark on you. Crushed is in that category. It will change you--maybe just little or maybe a lot, but you will be different after the book ends.

    After reading the description I thought this story is going to be something else, something more. So what I got was not what I expected.

    The story starts with death. A man is killed, he is hit by car. There is blood everywhere. This is the first scene where we meet Phoebe. She is a 17 years old girl from Bath. She thinks she caused it somehow. And so the story begins. There are two other characters, her friends Orla and Grace. The story is told from their points of view.
    So what happens? Basically their everyday lifes is what happens. They all have mother issues, especially Phoebe who is one hateful, cruel piece of work. Grace has to care for her sick mother alone. And Orla, well her issues are something else. It’s not easy to talk about this book without spoilers.

    I don’t usually read books like this, but since I liked Kate Hamer’s first book I thought I will give it a try. And the reason why I’m giving 4 stars is Hamer’s amazing writing style. The way she presents her characters, their feelings, their thoughts. I felt like I was there with them all along. I wanted desperately to find out what will happen next.

    Thanks to NetGalley, Faber & Faber and Kate Hamer for my copy. All opinions are my own.
