Description

A mesmerizing, dark, and hugely evocative piece of auto-fiction, and a first-hand account of a young woman falling madly in love with a narcissist - her undoing, her fight for freedom, and her bravery as she pieces herself back together.

When Livia met up-and-coming rapper, Nero, at the age of nineteen, their relationship quickly developed from a friendship into the most intense and all-consuming kind of love. Nero was charming and alluring, with a brilliant mind and a magnetism that could weave you under its spell and cast you out in one fell swoop.

As his rap career rocketed, Liv was at the centre of his world, experiencing the highs and lows of life at the top of the music industry - and at the hands of a narcissist.

The man she loved with every fibre of her being, the soul who set her alight, was also a monster. As his fame grew, so did his god complex. As his reputation grew, so did his deadly temper. As their love grew, her world contracted and her confidence shrank.

What was once a fairytale kind of love became a nightmare. After enduring three years of suffering, with physical and emotional abuse aimed at breaking her spirit, and multiple attempts by Nero's record label to silence her, Livia left the relationship and went public with her allegations.

This is an important, powerful and utterly compelling story of dark desires, obsession, and the deadly line between love and hatred.

An unputdownable, addictive and hugely emotional page-turner that fans of Colleen Hoover and Ana Huang will be obsessed with.
