![]() ![]() ![]() It is a tangled web, gorgeously done to get maximum impact every step of the the way – Ms Pinborough always uses language to the best effect, digging you into the narrative and gripping tightly every step of the way. There are some really insightful observations along the way and boy some of this is thought provoking and pretty scary but madly excellent reading with the kind of twisted dark heart that really appeals to me. I seriously could not bear to put this down until I found out what had happened to Tasha that night next to the river and why. Teenage female friendships – can be some of the closest and most intense of our lives, with 13 minutes Sarah Pinborough casts a wry and realistic eye ( and a very twisted one but then there is an absolute truth in that somewhere) over this and gives us added intrigue. She turns to her ex best friend Becca to help her discover the truth, but the truth could be darker than either of them can imagine. Tasha is pulled from the water and revived – she can’t remember why or how she ended up there but is starting to distrust her closest friendships. ![]() 13 minutes is a brilliantly constructed YA crime novel – and psychological thriller- that has some incredibly fascinating characters, that magical Sarah Pinborough touch when it comes to getting all up inside your head and is also as addictive as chocolate. ![]()
