Reception

[edit]

Kirkus Reviews called it "Cleverly plotted and emotionally engaging."[2] Jeff Ayers of the Associated Press wrote that Unger "steps back from her suspense roots this time to tell a slow, simmering, tragic tale."[3] Publishers Weekly wrote: "Since the Hollows is so small, characters continually rehash secrets—and rumors—so that Unger relies too heavily on the community's interconnectedness to bolster her plot."[4]

Awards and honors

[edit]

Fragile was chosen by ABC's Good Morning America as a top book pick for great summer reads and selected as a Hot Book by Harper's Bazaar. Target named Lisa Unger an "Emerging Author".[1]
