A New York Times Book Review "Editors' Choice"

"So gripping you might start to question your own family’s past." 

—Entertainment Weekly

“A bracing, scarily honest look at what it means to be female—and to be a daughter, sister, wife, mother—wrapped up in a vicious thriller.”

—Merritt Tierce, author of Love Me Back

From the author of Good as Gone comes a brilliant and timely thriller: Strangers on a Train by way of Thelma and Louise.

"Harrowing and razor-sharp."
—Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me 

"Unfolds like a master class in improvisational tragedy."
—Wall Street Journal

“Riveting.” 
—Entertainment Weekly

"By turns wicked and tender, ghastly and hilarious, Bad Habits is Amy Gentry’s best book yet."
­­—Elizabeth Little, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of Dear Daughter and Pretty As A Picture

"This rousing exposé of the politics of academia, with its textbook reputation for backbiting, will keep readers turning the pages."
—Publishers Weekly

“In this remarkable book Amy Gentry pulls off such fearless feats of feminist criticism I found myself hollering 'Yes!' out loud, dog-earing and underlining entire passages...This is an essential read, a barnburner of a book for anyone who thinks deeply about music and the people who make it.” ―Jessica Hopper, author of The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic
