![]() ![]() You Will Know Me is told in the close third person, from the perspective of Devon’s mother, Katie Knox. The result is that the attentions of these girls, and their parents, become hyper focused on the fate of their most promising gymnast, the extraordinary Devon Knox, whose skills inspire awe and envy in those around her. As with her most recent books - Dare Me (2012) and The Fever (2014) - You Will Know Me excels at capturing the specificities of teenage girl behavior, but the difference this time is that the teenage girls spend the bulk of their time training on vaults and high beams, rather than engaging in typical high school social activities. Just in time for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Megan Abbott has published one of her most riveting novels yet, You Will Know Me (Little Brown, 2016) set in the highly specialized and competitive world of female gymnastics. ![]()
