Critical Reviews

"What Happened to Lucy Vale by award winning novelist Lauren Oliver is original, compelling, and memorable. Especially recommended." --Midwest Book Review

"A brutally funny satire with a dark mystery nestled in its core. A Lauren Oliver novel is always a page-turner, but this one is uniquely ambitious, complex, and comic." --E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud

"Lauren Oliver's latest novel is a sharp and harrowing mystery for the digital age, in which teens join together in anonymous virtual Greek choruses to comment and pass judgment on their peers, even as they absolve themselves from responsibility for their fates. Oliver's unique approach to structure and her parallel storylines create an immersive and captivating reading experience as she cleverly explores the cyclical nature of abuse, the dizzying highs and lows of popularity, and the dangerous allure of groupthink. I inhaled this book like a gulp of fresh air after a long swim, but like the residents of Woodward, Indiana, I imagine it will be a long time before I stop thinking about What Happened to Lucy Vale." --Lauren Thoman, author of You Shouldn't Be Here and I'll Stop the World

"What Happened to Lucy Vale is a story about the stories we tell, and the damage they can do. Lauren Oliver gives voice to the worst parts of our natures, highlighting the danger of the collective in all its anonymous appeal. Formally inventive, swimming in the murky waters of the Discord server and the true-crime podcast, this novel will have you thinking twice about girls who disappear. This book is absolutely not to be missed." --Hayley Scrivenor, internationally bestselling author of Dirt Creek
