I was fortunate enough to be given an advanced copy of this book from Net Galley.

This story was a good mixture of suspense and drama. The description says it tells the story of three generations of women, but the primary focus was on Annie. She faces grief, mental health concerns, trauma, and relationship struggles as he world quickly starts to unravel.

This book was a little bit of a slow burn. I tend to typically gravitate towards faster paced thrillers, but this one was worth the wait and kept me questioning until the end.

Thank you, NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the copy of You Know What You Did by K. T. Nguyen. Annie overcame a difficult childhood and has a great life until her mother dies, and everything starts to fall apart. Learning about Annie’s OCD and her rituals was intriguing and I felt a lot of empathy for her, even though she was not a likable character. If you want a well-written thriller, where every character could be guilty and the story is filled with twists, don’t miss this amazing, hypnotic debut!

oh. my. god. i could not put this book down.

i read "you know what you did" in one sitting. it's just that good. nguyen's novel is a horror, a thriller, and an introspective novel about intergeneration trauma as well as the bonds between mother and daughter. it's twisty, it's beautiful, and it will keep your entertained. when annie's elderly mother (a vietnamese refugee) passes away, her life goes to shit. her ocd tendencies return, her daughter doesn't want to spend time with her anymore, and her husband keeps pushing her to get help. she starts losing bits and pieces of her memory, drinking too much, and finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. did she do this? how could she do this? is her mother's ghost haunting her?

this novel is so damn crazy in the best way. i love nguyens writing style and attention to detail. i felt as if i was forgetting things, just like annie. this had me hooked from the start to the very end. you've gotta read this book, you really do. it's such a treat.

thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

Thrilling Vietnamese-American thriller!
You Know What You Did features three generations of Vietnamese/Vietnamese-American women. When the story opens, Artist Annie Shaw's elderly mother has died. There seems to be a question about what caused the death and just what kind of mother she was. Join Annie as she transcends into darkness while she searches for answers about herself, her mother and her life.

Not for the faint to heart, Nguyen does a fantastic job illustrating the hold obsessive compulsions have over a person. There is hoarding, there is abuse, it's quite dark yet enthralling.

Welcome this new thriller writer to the fold and grab You Know What You Did!
