Praise for Wither:
A ‘harrowing debut . . . DeStefano has an observant and
occasionally pitiless eye, chronicling the cruelties, mercies, and
inconsistencies of her young characters. . . . It will be
intriguing to see how DeStefano develops [the larger world] as this
promising trilogy progresses’ Publisher’s Weekly starred review
‘Lauren DeStefano crafts an all too believable future. I loved the
world, the romance, the writing – exactly the kind of book I've
been craving to read’ Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling
author of THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH ‘[A] thought-provoking
debut, reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale with a touch of Big Love
. . . Rhine’s fight for freedom against the clock—and the
dissecting table—will leave readers eager for the sequel. Give this
one to fans of The Hunger Games trilogy or Ally Condie’s Matched
(2010).’ Kirkus ‘[Rhine] proves herself to be a heroine who faces
her situation with spirit and cleverness. The trapped bride and
mysterious husband are straight out of Gothic romances. By stirring
in elements of sheer creepiness with dystopia and the hot topic of
polygamy, DeStefano creates a story that should have broad appeal’
