High-concept and psychologically rich, with the dark, compulsive pull of a Black Mirror episode . . . ideal for book clubs and readers drawn to provocative fiction.
Jess Lomas, Books + Publishing
Outrageously funny, superbly plotted and deeply psychotic. I gorged myself on it.
Virginia Gay
Hilarious and deft, Rytual satirises both the mythical girlboss and the glossy world of beauty brands, while taking the reader on a breakneck journey filled with gasp-worthy twists and turns. Chloe Elisabeth Wilson is one hell of an exciting new talent.
Amy Taylor, author of Search History
Rytual is the hottest item in the Shameless Media office right now … It’s so f*cking good. If you love the beauty industry and psychological thrillers, this is the book for you.
Michelle Andrews, Shameless
Rytual is wild in the most perfect way. It’s the page-turner of the year, a literary thriller with a taste of modern sci-fi and horror, and also breathtakingly sexy. Every sentence is constructed like a work of art. I will be telling every woman I know about Rytual – oh, and also, looking twice at all my beauty products from now on.
Eilish Gilligan, Shameless Book Club
Sexy as hell, funny as sin. I’ve never devoured a book so quickly.
Michelle Brasier, author of My Brother's Ashes Are in a Sandwich Bag
Rytual is absolutely unhinged in the best way possible, with elements of dystopian thriller in a story that's somehow also terrifyingly relatable. How does she do it?! Probably by way of being an excellent writer, and also simply existing as a young woman in the world. Wilson's debut is sharply observed, exposing the fine line between feminism and misandry; #girlboss energy and a toxic workplace; wellness culture and straight-up cult. Rytual is gripping, smart and incredibly salacious.
Amy Lovat, Secret Book Stuff
A deliciously addictive, dream come true debut that left me wanting more.
