So much so that when Kit decided to go off for six months to find herself at a secretive retreat called Wisewood in Rockland, Maine, she made the decision without asking Natalie’s advice. It’s all to the detriment of her social life, and her relationship with her sister Kit is also strained. Let that scene simmer in the back of your mind as we meet Natalie, a driven woman whose determination and single-mindedness has propelled her to the top of her PR company, a woman her employees call ‘boss bitch’ behind her back. Yes, Wrobel is back, and it appears she’s not planning on taking any prisoners, offering a shocking curtain-raiser on a par with MW Craven’s Black Summer. As a videographer faithfully records, she performs a stomach-churning act of self-mutilation. Now Stephanie Wrobel is back with another cleverly conniving psychological thriller.Īs This Might Hurt opens, a performance artist is standing in a huge art gallery in front of a small audience. A rule of Wisewood: All contact with the outside world is forbidden in order to submit to the transformation process.She debuted with a bang, the publication of The Recovery of Rose Gold (Darling Rose Gold in the USA) attracting a tsunami of approval from crime fiction readers and reviewers looking for something a little different. Kit was promised she could become the best version of herself if she followed its leader, known by the ominous-sounding Teacher. The last time they spoke was when they argued about whether it was wise for Kit to leave her job for this six-month retreat, called Wisewood, located on a private island. She’s jolted from the monotony of her life when she receives an email from a wellness retreat where her sister, Kit, has been staying. She makes regular deposits into her savings, washes her bedding twice a month and eats the same salad every day for lunch. She focuses most of her energy on her career because she’s lonely and unfulfilled with her regimented life. In “This Might Hurt” we meet first meet Natalie, an executive living in Boston.
