It's a novel full of light and heart even in its darkest moments: a beautiful, compelling debut."" --Liz Harmer, author of Strange Loops ""In Play, Jess Taylor has created a uniquely gentle sort of dread, weaving a story that is compelling and compassionate, and burning with profoundly moving insight about trauma, the power of art, and our deep need for connection."" --Jessica Westhead, author of Avalanche ""This haunting, disturbing story is one that will linger in your heart and your mind for a long time ...
