Inspired by the parents of Aly Raisman, who's nervous, yet hilarious reactions from the stands as they watched their daughter competed at the Olympics went viral, Abbott was intrigued by the thought of parents who dedicate so much of their lives to their child when they are a prodigy.
"You Will Know Me" is the story of a fifteen year old elite level gymnast named Devon Knox who's parents are willing to do whatever it takes, emotionally and financially, to get her to the Olympics. When tragedy strikes-- a death in their tight-knit gymnastics community-- Devon's mom Katie. who narrates majority of the book, begins to take a deeper look at her family. Devon's younger brother, Drew begins having strange dreams about Devon and rumors begin to swirl, leaving Katie to question everything she thought she knew. Is what keeps the family together also what tears them apart?
The novel is a tense thriller that is more about the journey than the actual mystery. The reoccurring theme lies within the world of elite gymnastics and the parents who invest their heart and souls to see their child on top. However, that obsession can create a false sense of closeness, leading parents to think they know everything about them. Megan Abbott does a wonderful job of bringing to light the intersections of talented teenage girls, ambition, and obsession. This book is an interesting read for all young adults--but it doesn't hurt to be a gymnastics fan!
