Until Alison

a novel
Kate Russo
Book - 2025

"I Have Some Questions for You meets Prep in Kate Russo's explosive pivot to literary thriller, set against the hothouse of adolescent angst, following one woman's reckoning with her involvement in her rival's past, who is found dead on campus. Junior High never leaves you. And Rachel Nardelli's early adolescent days have come back to haunt her when her long-time rival Alison Petrucci is found dead at Pleasant pond. This is where Rachel had last seen her in eighth grade, before Alison was punt off to private school. And before Alison seemed to have followed her to Denman. What bothers Rachel most, though, is that the night before Alison's murder, Rachel had said something to her. Something mean. It was a callback to their Junior High days, when all she'd wanted was to be free from Alison. But Rachel didn't want her to die . . . As Rachel joins her journalism crew to investigate the murder, and the town rages on for Alison, Rachel is forced to reckon with a troubled past she thought she'd long left behind. A brilliantly incisive and resonant story that is at once about class, gender, and the arbitrary nature of violence, Until Alison, inspired by real events, is the novel Kate Russo was always meant to write"--
