Inventive, electrifying and daring, True Story is a novel like nothing you''ve ever read before.''A mind-blowing page-turning un-put-downable heartwarming empathetic formally inventive horror suspense thriller, with a life-affirming and timely feminist message'' Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot''Where our obsession with true-life crime meets page-turner'' Stylist, The best summer reads for 2020''Provocative'' Red ''Clever and inventive, this is a supremely accomplished debut about the nature of truth in a world littered with monsters both real and imagined. It''s up to the reader to decide which is which'' Daily ExpressAfter a college party, two boys drive a girl home: drunk and passed out in the back seat. Rumours spread about what they did to her, but later they''ll tell the police a different version of events. Alice will never remember what truly happened. Her fracture runs deep, hidden beneath cleverness and wry humour. Nick - a sensitive, misguided boy who stood by - will never forget.That''s just the beginning of this extraordinary journey into memory, fear and self-portrayal. Through university applications, a terrifying abusive relationship, a fateful reckoning with addiction and a final mind-bending twist, Alice and Nick will take on different roles to each other - some real, some invented - until finally, brought face to face once again, the secret of that night is revealed. Startlingly relevant and enthralling in its brilliance, True Story is by turns a campus novel, psychological thriller, horror story and crime noir, each narrative frame stripping away the fictions we tell about women, men and the very nature of truth. It introduces Kate Reed Petty as a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction.
