You Know What You Did
You Know What You Did | K T Nguyen
6 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
In this heart-pounding debut thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Celeste Ng, a first-generation Vietnamese American artist must confront nightmares past and present. . . . Annie "Anh Le" Shaw grew up poor, but seems to have it all now: a dream career, a stunning home, and a devoted husband and daughter. When Annie's mother, a Vietnam War refugee, dies suddenly one night, Annie's carefully curated life begins to unravel. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder, which she thought she'd vanquished years ago, comes roaring back--but this time, the disturbing fixations swirling around in Annie's brain might actually be coming true. A prominent art patron disappears, and the investigation zeroes in on Annie. Spiraling with self-doubt, she distances herself from her family and friends, only to wake up in a hotel room--naked, next to a lifeless body. The police have more questions, but with her mind increasingly fractured, Annie doesn't have answers. All she knows is this: She will do anything to protect her daughter--even if it means losing herself. With dizzying twists, You Know What You Did is both a harrowing thriller and a heartfelt exploration of the refugee experience, the legacies we leave for our children, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters.

For most of this book I had no idea what was going on. The unreliable narrator made it so that the reader could not tell what to believe. It took me by surprise. This book covered many topics, such as PTSD, parent relationships, marital relationships, mental illness, and trauma experienced by refugees. This sounds like a lot with the possibility of being messy, but the author really ties it all together seamlessly.

This is a psychological thriller. This story delves into complex issues of secrets, guilt, and relationships. The plot will keep you turning pages to try to reveal the end. I enjoyed reading it and it finally pulled me out of reading dry spell.

#Aardvark dropped a May clue on their Instagram and this is my guess. The "you know what", font style/color, the "we know what we're doing" caption (paired with the title), and the ladybug connection all feel on point. That does look like a ladybug in flight on the book cover, right? ?

An unreliable narrator and a mounting body count (along with some grisly scenes involving insects), certainly made this debut thriller feel a bit more like horror at times! Artist Annie has had a fraught relationship with both her refugee mother and her own teenage daughter as her OCD once again begins dominating her life. And when bodies of those close to her turn up dead, it seems like the title isn‘t quite so fitting… Warning: violent dog death
