Critics Review
‘Seductive, unsettling, and razor-sharp, Jaded is an addictive campus novel that slips a knife beneath the ribs of desire, marriage, and power. Taut with psychological tension and charged with danger, Anne Meredith’s writing is fearless, intoxicating, and imbued with that particular depth of intelligent humor that speaks to the complex nature of inner pain. This novel is impossible to look away from. Jaded is a thrilling debut that never ceases to subvert and surprise.’
– Chelsea Bieker, bestselling author of Madwoman
‘Your book club will need smelling salts! There is a LOT of sex in this daring debut novel, and also a tender message about the unruly, unpredictable nature of love.’
– Ada Calhoun, NYT-bestselling author of Crush
