Cruelty Free A Novel

"A fast-paced, deliciously gruesome send-up of Hollywood and the beauty industry." - People

"A twisting labyrinth of lies and betrayal, Glenn's brilliant plotting makes this book impossible to put down as its captivating and messy women characters barrel forward to a stunning conclusion. Fans of Virginia Feito and Monika Kim will delight in this weird feminist horror whodunnit." - Library Journal (starred review)

"Absolute madness in the funniest, scariest, most bonkers possible way." - Craig Mazin, screenwriter and showrunner of The Last of Us

"Wildly twisted, razor-sharp, and ultimately heartbreaking, Cruelty Free is as much a novel about the fullness of grief as it is about the hollowness of vengeance. Every moment kept me guessing, and I was so moved by the book's depiction of love and its ability to distort who we are. Glenn's book completely fulfills, and then upends the 'good for her' genre by asking if retribution and satisfaction are even possible for certain people and situations...if they can genuinely be good for her." - Ling Ling Huang, author of Natural Beauty

"Deliciously vicious and unsettlingly hilarious, Cruelty Free is a nasty, thrilling Hollywood take-down for the ages." - Jennifer Thorne, author of Diavola

"Equal parts twisted and gut-wrenching, Cruelty Free is like the best episode of E! True Hollywood Story you've never seen." - Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing and Normal Women

"An absolutely stunning and visceral debut that pulls you in from the very first page. On the surface Cruelty Free is a revenge story with all the right twists and turns, but bubbling beneath that is a heartbreaking exploration of grief and the deep chasm that loss forms, which yearns to be filled at whatever cost. Glenn refuses to ask questions with kid-gloves on, instead begging the reader to fall down a psychological rabbit hole and scrape their knees along the way. A pulse-racing, unhinged page-turner that I simply could not put down." - Kirsten King author of A Good Person

"Cruelty Free is a topsy turvy odyssey that shocks and delights at every tilt. As soon as I thought I knew what this story was about, Glenn pulled the rug out from under me (a positive). This is a bloody, darkly funny treat with prose that cuts straight to the bone. I had a blast reading this!" - Sam Rebelein, Stoker-nominated author of Galloway's Gospel

"Marked by shocking scenes of revenge and memorable characters, Cruelty Free demonstrates how powerful and propulsive words on a page can be." - BookTrib.com

"This debut manages to be both a sensitive portrayal of grief and a gleefully blood-soaked rampage." - Booklist

"A twisting labyrinth of lies and betrayal, Glenn's brilliant plotting makes this book impossible to put down as its captivating and messy women characters barrel forward to a stunning conclusion. Fans of Virginia Feito and Monika Kim will delight in this weird feminist horror whodunnit." - Library Journal (starred review)
