“A deeply important book by my favorite writer. Julie Soto is a master at characterization. THE THRASHERS encapsulates the vulnerability of adolescents playing adult games. As a reader, you oscillate between playing into the mob and questioning where you land on a larger moral scale.”—Ali Hazelwood

“An aching portrait of disparate friendship, high school hierarchy, and the ghosts that haunt us—figuratively and literally. This unsettling, pulse-pounding pageturner will leave you desperate for a sequel. A tour-de-force YA debut from Julie Soto and the perfect slow-burn, creeping suspense read for fans of Nova Ren Suma and Marisha Pessl.”—Alexa Donne, author of The Ivies, Pretty Dead Queens, and The Bitter End

“WHAT A RIDE! Julie Soto has proven she can write in any age category, any genre, and pull out an incredibly compulsive, bingeable story. For fans of Karen McManus and Kara Thomas, The Thrashers had me holding my breath, sweaty-palming my e-reader, and dying to flip each page to see what would happen next. I was questioning who to trust, including my own thoughts and memories (!), up till the very end. And I thoroughly enjoyed exploring how social status, money, privilege, and mental health impact who we believe in and what they can get away with in this gripping novel. One of the MOST FUN YA thrillers I’ve read in a long time!”—Susan Lee, author of Seoulmates and The Name Drop
