"Tell Me Everything is the best story I've read in a long, long time. Each scene is a remarkable character study; each development is shocking. Told with incredible psychological insight, this book is an unstoppable inquiry that delivers justice for many and, finally, peace for the most deserving. That never happens in real life. Except in this case, it did. This book is beautiful, exhilarating, and wildly rewarding."
--Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing

"Tell Me Everything is a reading event in the landscape of memoir unlike anything since Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It's a tale of detection, a mystery, a legal thriller, a whodunit, but it's hardly escapist fare. Ingenious in its approach to impossible subjects, Krouse's vivid and original memoir is state of the art. Tell Me Everything is our new standard."
--Charles D'Ambrosio, author of Loitering

"I devoured Tell Me Everything over the course of two breathless days, harrowed and deeply moved. It is at once an exposé, a heart-rending narrative of family trauma and its long legacy, and a thrilling detective story--propulsive as anything by Raymond Chandler but with twice the emotional IQ. This is the most satisfying, urgent book I have read in a long time."
--Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood

"Krouse's remarkable Tell Me Everything affected me more than any memoir I've read in the last decade. Fueled by Krouse's searching intelligence and studded with moments of subtle humor, this astonishing, prescient personal tale possesses the urgency of a great novel. Put simply: I loved it."
--Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year

"Krouse has an eye for memorable details, an ear for arresting language, a relentless self-awareness, and a mind that roves tirelessly. Tell Me Everything is gripping and moving, both excavation and investigation, of Krouse's past and our collective present, and even of what future justice might look like."
--Caitlin Horrocks, author of Life Among the Terranauts

"Krouse achieves a singular accomplishment of voice in her stunning memoir. This book asks us all to reckon with the questions, at what cost justice and at what cost injustice? It is a brilliant book and one I will be thinking about for a long time to come."
--Michelle Bowdler, author of Is Rape a Crime?
