What if the one person who finally understood you arrived exactly when you needed them most?
Veronica stopped hoping a long time ago.
Somewhere between the grief and the silence, she learned that wanting people only leaves you emptier when they go. So she made herself small. Quiet. Safe. She filled her days with work and university and the kind of loneliness you stop noticing because it's simply always there, a dull ache she'd learned to call normal.
And then came Amelia.
Warm where Veronica was guarded. Bright where she was shadowed. Amelia appeared at the exact moment Veronica was breaking, and for the first time in longer than she could remember, someone saw her. Someone stayed. For the first time, Veronica let herself believe she wasn't meant to be alone after all.
But happiness has a way of loosening the things we've held tightly shut.
As their friendship deepens, the certainty Veronica has always relied on begins to tremble. The closer she comes to understanding herself, the harder it becomes to tell where memory ends and reality begins, and the more she realizes that finding the truth may cost her everything she's come to hold dear.
Some things we bury because we can't bear to remember them. And some truths, once uncovered, change everything.
Fallacious is a devastatingly beautiful psychological novel about grief that never quite heals, the desperate human need to be known, and the astonishing, aching lengths the mind will go to protect us from ourselves.
This is a story that will wreck you, and stay with you long after the final page.
- An emotionally shattering psychological drama you'll feel in your chest
- A tender, haunting story of friendship, loss, and longing
- A slow-burning mystery that builds to an unforgettable ending
- Unforgettable, deeply human characters who feel like they're breathing beside you
- For readers who wept through Hanya Yanagihara, Celeste Ng, and Matt Haig
If you've ever felt alone in a crowded room, if you've ever grieved someone the world told you to move on from, this book will find the tender places in you, and hold them gently.
