She's A Lamb!

“Hambrock keeps the reader on edge via Jessamyn’s unreliable narration … It’s a showstopping performance.” — Publishers Weekly
“For readers who enjoy dark, uncomfortable humor and tales of mental spiraling.” — Library Journal
“Instead of being cast in The Sound of Music, an actress is hired as the child-wrangler instead, and then she comes SUPER UNDONE. I’ve made about ten people read this already.” — Rebecca Makkai, Author of I Have Some Questions For You
“Told from Jessamyn’s point of view, at first charmingly unhinged, then terrifyingly disturbed, She’s a Lamb! is a dive into the mind of a deeply delusional woman … Audacious and darkly funny.” — Booklist
“Dark, hilarious, and thought-provoking, She’s a Lamb! is a biting satire about a deluded woman’s quest for stardom. A wildly entertaining ride!” — Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Haters
“She’s a Lamb! is Sunset Boulevard for the next generation. Exploring ego, trauma, and the brutal pursuit of great art, this book is hilarious until it’s terrifying, maddening until it’s tragic. Meredith Hambrock is a star!” — Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing
“A diabolical journey through one woman’s deep delusions and desperate ambition. Hambrock brilliantly doles out tragicomic tension inspired by the Chekhov and Shakespeare referenced, all to a brutally hilarious and just plain brutal effect through the thoughts and actions of an unforgettably Machiavellian character. She’s a Lamb! left me breathless!” — Deb Rogers, author of Florida Woman
“While intricately plotted, it has the pace and verve of a prestige comedy … Beneath Hambrock’s light touch and disturbing humour are sharp insights into the mental costs of ambition, especially for women.” — Literary Review of Canada
“If you did any drama, theater work or musicals, if you love stories with unhinged women and dark comedy, you’ll enjoy this.” — Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror)
“With remarkable restraint, Hambrock leans away any possibility of redemption and focuses her narrative just as narrowly as Jessamyn herself has on her own possibilities. The result is hilarious, ridiculous, creepy and chilling at once.” — Pickle Me This
