‘Tense, intelligent, excruciating … A cross between Notes On A Scandal and The Safekeep’ DAILY MAIL
Ruby has spent her twenties scraping by in unfulfilling jobs. But now she’s tasting her first success as a film director – and she’s caught the eye of Ellen, an iconoclastic feminist filmmaker, critical darling and Ruby’s idol.
When Ellen invites Ruby down to her sprawling country house and offers to mentor her through writing her next film, Ruby can’t believe her luck. Arriving in the middle of an oppressive heat wave, she is overawed by the glamour of the house – and finds herself quickly drawn into the middle of a dangerous dynamic between Ellen and her elusive daughter Lara.
Because Ellen and Lara, it seems, like to play games with promising young women. As tensions escalate, Ruby begins to ask herself: why was she brought here, and what exactly do these two women want from her?
Give Me Everything You’ve Got is the incendiary new novel from Imogen Crimp: a fearless, sultry and deliciously dark exploration of art, power and sex that grips to the final page.

'Gives gothic Rebecca vibes - couldn't put it down'
'Hazy, confusing Saltburn vibes but so interestingly combined with themes from The Safekeep and with lots of gothic influence from books like Rebecca and Jane Eyre. I loved this book'©2023 Imogen Crimp (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews
A subtle, claustrophobic, seduction of a novel. I loved its dreamy, hazy surface, and its uncomfortable undertow (CLAIRE FULLER, author of the Costa Prize winning Unsettled Ground)
Atmospheric and full of foreboding
A watch-this-space writer ... Explores power, exploitation and the cost of making art
A hugely talented writer (SARAH WATERS)
Shot through with satire on the culture industry’s demand for autobiographical stories of women’s lives, the plot resembles a cross between Zoë Heller’s Notes On A Scandal and Yael van der Wouden’s recent hit The Safekeep. Tense and intelligent, with an excruciating set-piece climax
The book of the summer ... Blistering, compelling, claustrophobic, and sinister ... A summer of mysterious entanglements, self-destruction and a fascinating dissection of feminism and passion in the pursuit of making
Crimp succeeds in creating an increasing claustrophobia and paranoia at Ellen’s sprawling estate, as both Ruby and the reader start to doubt whether either Ellen or Lara really care at all about her. Give Me Everything You’ve Got is evocative, gripping, and at times, verging on horror
Hypnotic and immersive, dreamlike and ferociously paced ... a novel in which every sunlit surface pulses with menace and dread. Utterly addictive (COLIN WALSH, author of Kala)
The air is stifling, the mood unsettling, and Ruby is increasingly aware of darker, seductive games at play
Vivid, cinematic, fantastically atmospheric ... The claustrophobic summer heat seeps through every scene, amping up the tension
Ruby knows she has finally made it as a director when the filmmaker she idolises, Ellen, invites her to her country home during a heatwave. But she begins to question things when she finds herself drawn into the tumultuous dynamic between Ellen and her unpredictable daughter
A total fever dream ... completely dizzying. Tinged with a sense of creeping claustrophobia throughout, it’s hard to ignore the descent into madness that inches its way into the book
I love Imogen Crimp's writing, and this novel is sexy, evocative and unsettling in all the best ways (JENNIE GODFREY)
From Manderley in Rebecca to Brideshead Revisited and Saltburn, a sprawling, beautiful house is bound to be hiding some sinister secrets (while also featuring covetable herb gardens and marble fireplaces). So when budding screenwriter Ruby is invited to her idol’s country house, her best bet would be to write a polite ‘no, thank you’ card. Instead, she’s ensnared by feminist director Ellen and her wayward daughter, Lara, who both seem to be playing a game that Ruby can’t quite fathom – all while being utterly beguiled by the house itself
A mesmerising treat that takes the reader on a gripping, labyrinthine exploration of power and corrupted feminism. Crimp executes a stylish and sensuous game of cat and mouse, as elegant as it is disturbing (AISLING RAWLE)
