Reviews"An epic natural disaster adventure story starring a pregnant woman on a mission. A nuanced, stark, tender portrait of a marriage. A tale of destruction and loss punctuated by surprising moments of empathy. Emma Pattee's debut novel Tilt manages to be all of the above, and more. Equal parts heart-wrenching and life-affirming, this riveting book made me laugh, cry, and think. I couldn't put it down." --Helen Phillips, author of Hum and The Need, "Recounting Annie's precarious journey across the city and into her past, Pattee reveals that the quake has upended more than the earth. A captivating novel." -- Kirkus (starred review), "[A] fascinating and emotional debut... compelling... Instantly readable and filled with dry humor, this book follows in the footsteps of other disaster novels while bringing a fresh take to the genre." -- Booklist (starred), "Every gorgeous page pulses with humor, heartbreak, and the horror of human behavior when the unthinkable happens. Emma Pattee has written a smashing debut that had me turning the pages well into the night." --Jessica Knoll, New York Times Bestselling author of Bright Young Women, " Tilt promises wit and style, and reminders of humanity in the face of disaster. A force to be reckoned with." --Literary Hub, LitHub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025, "Tilt is a swift, exhilarating punch to the gut, the most embodied twenty-four hours of narrative I can remember reading. Through the eyes of the prickly, funny, and very pregnant narrator, we viscerally experience the surreal, unbearable, comic, and beautiful ways that humans behave in a crisis. The Road meets Nightbitch meets What to Expect When You're Expecting. I loved this novel." -- Lydia Kiesling, author of The Golden State and Mobility, "[A] nail-biting debut... Pattee's depiction of a post-earthquake Portland feels bracingly realistic, and her depictions of marriage and impending motherhood are achingly raw. Shocking and full of heart, this leaves a mark." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred), " Tilt is a remarkable debut--a gorgeous, haunting blend of a suspenseful survival thriller and a fierce portrait of maternal love. I was so mesmerized that I blew off all my responsibilities, threw all other reading aside, and blistered through the whole thing in one sitting, loving every moment." --Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek

SynopsisA New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A USA TODAY Bestseller Set over the course of a single day, an electrifying debut novel from "a powerful new literary voice" ( Vogue ) following one woman's journey across a transformed city, carrying the weight of her past and a fervent hope for the future. Last night, you and I were safe. Last night, in another universe, your father and I stood fighting in the kitchen. Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there's nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she's determined to change her life. A propulsive debut, Tilt is a primal scream of a novel about the disappointments and desires we all carry, and what each of us will do for the people we love.
