With a title like Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead, it was easy for our #ReadWithMC book club members to pick up Jenny Hollander’s debut novel. That said, a title alone doesn’t keep a reader invested for 304 pages—but plenty in Hollander’s first novel did just that. #ReadWithMC readers said that the psychological thriller—and newly minted USA Today bestseller—was so engrossing that they either put their lives temporarily on hold to finish it or went about their day thinking of the moment they could return to Charlie Colbert and her story.
Charlie, the editor-in-chief of C magazine, has rebuilt her life following nightmarish events at her elite graduate school on Christmas Eve nine years prior—events known to the public as “Scarlet Christmas.” The press and the police called Charlie a “witness,” but Charlie knows she’s so much more than that. In the midst of her impeccably well-crafted life, a buzzy film made by one of Charlie’s former classmates threatens to shatter everything she’s worked for—and Charlie is determined not to let anything, even the people she once loved most, get in her way.
