Why read it?

2 authors picked Hide as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What I love about Hide is that it takes an innocent children's game and elevates it into a wildly fun and scary thriller about a group of adults invited to play a seven-day game of Hide and Seek in an abandoned amusement park.

I love how masterfully the story unfolds, revealing enticing breadcrumbs along the way about what this strange game of Hide and Seek is truly about. But, even more than Hide's very inventive narrative, I love how the story serves as a clever metaphor for some ultra-relevant social issues. 

Hide feels like a book tailor-made to pull me in and refuse to let go. The pitch—a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek in an abandoned amusement park—is solid gold, and the book delivers so much more than it promises. With relentless, cutting-class commentary and a truly ferocious sense of clarity, Hide excoriates systems of exploitation with incredible efficiency. I found myself sneaking chapters wherever I could.

From Sarah's list on for making you lose sleep.
