You think you know what abusive relationships look like, until you see it for yourself.
When Lucy and Meg's mother is assaulted by her husband, stepfather Greg, his arrest seems to mark the end of a nightmare. But when their mother chooses to stay with him, the sisters are thrust into a disturbing moral dilemma.
Desperate to protect her, they take a drastic step: secretly install hidden cameras to capture the truth for themselves-and the rest of the world. What unfolds isn't what Lucy expected.
Told with emotional clarity and literary depth, The Truth About You probes the unsettling gap between what we're taught to believe and the evidence. As Lucy grapples with conflicting narratives of abuse, loyalty, and manipulation, she's forced to question not only her mother and stepfather's roles in this abusive relationship, but the entire framework of judgment, justice, and victimhood.
This is a bold, timely novel for readers who crave psychological insight, emotional complexity, and stories that challenge assumptions. Fans of dark literary fiction and contemporary women's drama will find themselves haunted by the questions this story refuses to answer easily.
Read it, question everything, and decide for yourself.
