So excited to have this proof of #ASharpScratch by Heather Darwent. I loved her debut so much. Massive thanks to @vikingbooksuk.bsky.social. Out in May.

Photo of the back cover with the blurb that reads: We can fix you. It’s a promise that Betsy has heard far too many times. From the child psychiatrist, from her husband, and from the wellness trends that scream at her from her screens. So far, it’s been a lie. But this time she believes it. Because Betsy has been offered a place at Carn – a luxurious, unorthodox retreat where healing really is possible. At Carn, she discovers that her imperfections make her unique, not weak. She isn’t broken, just special. All Betsy has to do is follow the rules…
So pleased to read an ARC of #HeatherDarwent’s latest, #ASharpScratch. Eerie, intense, claustrophobic & grotesque in the best possible way; a beautifully brutal exploration of sickness, isolation, desperation & desire. I loved it! Out May & available to preorder now: www.amazon.co.uk/Sharp-Scratc...
