THEY’RE GOING TO LOVE YOU by Meg Howrey
Praise is rolling in for Meg Howrey’s THEY’RE GOING TO LOVE YOU ahead of its publication. The book received a starred review from Publishers Weekly: “Howrey delivers a poignant family alienation, regret, and desire…[F]raught scenes provoke staggering bursts of emotion…Howrey expertly builds tension, leading the reader to feel alongside Carlisle both the draw of ballet and her anxiety about her reunion with her father. It’s a breathtaking performance.” The book was featured on The Seattle Times’ must-read books for this fall, alongside generous praise: “[A] stirring coming-of-age tale…Howrey’s writing is precise and eloquent, like finely tuned ballet, but above all, this soul-stirring novel is about love, loyalty, and one’s lifelong relationship to art.” Lastly, the novel was reviewed by Sophie Bress for Fjord, who writes: “Rooted in authenticity, nuance, and honesty…By addressing issues like lack of recognition and pay for choreographers, the lack of female choreographers in ballet, and ballet’s body biases, Howrey not only weaves a poignant story, she makes a statement about the way things are and the ways things need to change.” Doubleday will publish THEY’RE GOING TO LOVE YOU on November 15, 2022.
