New York Times bestselling author of Lucky
“It’s been a long time since I fell so hard for a character as I did for Beatrice “Beans” Bennett. I worried so much about the vulnerable teenage Beans, and then, the adult woman struggling with the same veritable demon, ED. The menacing voice of this eating disorder is as scary as the assassins at Bean’s heels as she searches for her missing mother. Sagit Schwarz’s debut novel Since She’s Been Gone is a remarkable debut. Intense, engrossing, and enthralling.”
– Marcy Dermansky

When a clinical psychologist dealing with her own mental health issues is thrust into her dark past, Schwartz’s twists and turns don’t let up. This is a propulsive, unputdownable debut.”
