ReviewsMesmerizing, beautiful, and heartrending, 59 Minutes is more than a top-notch thriller. It's a story that reminds us to seize the day, to race home to the ones we love, and to remember the light in this world. Holly Seddon has outdone herself. The clock is ticking so race to buy this book., Genuinely blew me away. What a novel! I have always loved Holly's writing, but she has truly levelled up - I was completely gripped. 59 MINUTES is a race-against-time thriller, but it's so much more than that. It tugged on my heartstrings and had me close to tears on more than one occasion. Impossible to put down., Some thrillers thrill, but 59 Minutes will change the way you think about humanity. Universal, challenging, and bold as hell: it's going to take over the world., Part thriller, part love story, 59 MINUTES is a tender contemplation of what it means to be human in the face of an extinction-level event. Peopled with characters whose lives matter from the very first moment, Holly Seddon perfectly captures the panicked, messy chaos of trying to reach loved ones in time., A big-hearted book that pulses with adrenaline on every page. Holly Seddon is at the top of her game as she shows us the absolute best and the absolute worst of humanity. Stop what you're doing and read it., I often talk about turning pages feverishly when I'm enjoying a book, or not being able to turn them fast enough, but this was on another level! I read it in two insane hits, so hard and so fast that the pages fell out. An unreal and unforgettable reading experience in every way.
