About the Author:
Tabitha Suzuma was born in 1975 and lives in London. She has always loved writing and would regularly get into trouble at the French Lycee for writing stories instead of listening in class. She used to work as a primary school teacher and now divides her time between writing and tutoring. Her first novel, A Note of Madness, was published to great critical acclaim.

Young reviewer on Guardian Children's Books "Hurt is a emotionally draining rollercoaster with amazing characters, shocking revelations, a beautiful love story and a phenomenal and heart-stopping ending ... a thrilling masterpiece that will leave you breathless." The Reader Lines blog "This book is so intense it almost hurts to read ... It has a genuine feel of Sylvia Plath's mental health classic The Bell Jar."
