This book is a slow burn of epic proportions about the destructive power of grudges and how the truth is sometimes harder to bare than the lies we tell ourselves. J.M. Lee tackles two of humanity's most enduring questions, can you ever really know someone (even those closest to you) and is anything every what it seems? Bonus points for some highly astute takes on the art world.
