What happens when the person you trust the most is the one you should trust the least? Two friends, Daniel and Laythe, move in together after a string of failures. Their hope for a new life is shaken by Daniel's discovery that Laythe is a master manipulator, who may be plotting to kill him! Daniel is thrust into a battle of wits as he seeks to understand how he'd been fooled for so long. His questions lead him to conspiracy theory researchers, the 'weird' part of the internet, and a mysterious plant medicine from Central Africa.
The questions posed by this debut novel are contemporary, gripping and transformative. The story will resonate with people who have been in close proximity to a psychopath - who want to know that how they feel is not wrong.
Stories about our relationships with manipulators tend to focus on the male-female, romantic relationship, or on overtly destructive villains that are undoubtedly evil. By contrast, this story is framed in a platonic friendship between young men, where most of the violence is subtle. This allows the exploration of a unique perspective, while still evoking the relatable, raw emotions of being victimised by a predator's abuse.Most of us have or will have to deal with a manipulator. The damage when we do can be devastating. You're left feeling crazy, with no one to tell you you're not. This book tells you you're not.
