Summary

"This is one helluva read. Incredibly raw and visceral" - Harriet Tyce, author of BLOOD ORANGE
"Thought-provoking and honest" - Winnie Li, author of COMPLICIT
"A page-turner" - Louise Dean, author of BECOMING STRANGERS
"I couldn't put it down" - Tasha Coryell, author of LOVE LETTERS TO A SERIAL KILLER

"Keeps the reader on their toes in the best way" - Kate Riordan, author of THE HEATWAVE

Therapy was meant to solve her problems, not make them worse...
Smart twenty-year-old Dani is desperate to overcome her eating disorder, leave her dead-end job and return to her hard-won place at university. Using her limited earnings, she decides to start seeing a psychotherapist.

Richard Goode is educated, sophisticated and worldly-everything Dani aspires to be. As he intuitively unpicks her self-loathing, Dani assumes the fantasies she's developing about him live only in her head. That is, until things take a shocking turn...

Descending into a maelstrom of twisted desire, manipulation and mistrust, the power struggle between Dani and Richard escalates until she's forced to make a decision that might finally give her the freedom she deserves.

Perfect for fans of MY DARK VANESSA, Fifty Minutes is a propulsive and bold debut that marks Carla Jenkins as a vital new voice in fiction.

unflinching and endearing, a celebration of endless determination and hope

Dani Drew me in from the off. Contrasts and contradictions in a character you can't help but love. The story is wonderfully crafted and unfolds through a challenging narrative of self doubt and hope pitched against manipulation control. Have listened to it three times now and find more layers every time

Compelling Story, Compassionately Read

An engaging exploration of psychotherapy which unravels into a tense, intimate thriller. Amber Gadd's energy and range makes the narration clear and authentic.
