About this ebook
A totally gripping twisty psychological thriller from the amazing author of Behind Her Eyes, now a major Netflix series
I was dead for 13 minutes.
I don't remember how I ended up in the icy water but I do know this - it wasn't an accident and I wasn't suicidal.
They say you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but when you're a teenage girl, it's hard to tell them apart. My friends love me, I'm sure of it. But that doesn't mean they didn't try to kill me. Does it?
13 MINUTES is a gripping psychological thriller about people, fears, manuiplation and the power of the truth. A stunning read, it questions our relationships - and what we really know about the people closest to us . . .

I read this with my teenage daughter and found it dark, intriguing and suspenseful. It's a gripping compelling read, showing the teenage years as fragile & complex. Would definitely recommend to both adults and young adults :)
