"Liars" is not only a story about mutual lies, but above all about the betrayal of one's own values and ideals in order to survive in a relationship at all costs. It is also a record of the daily costs and losses incurred in the name of the uncertain promise of material well-being and belonging to higher spheres. Finally, an original attempt to answer the question of why we so readily trust narcissists and their beautiful visions of the future. At the same time, however, it is a perverse story: because can we trust Jane's account; a woman who lies to herself so successfully?

Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges. It seems that they both want the same thing: to love and develop creatively. When Jane gets married, she believes she has found everything she dreamed of: her husband is a handsome artist. She tries to believe in her happiness a few years later, when she discovers the joys and hardships of motherhood. In the meantime, she will involuntarily subordinate her whole life to her husband's ambitions, whims and destructive habits - in short: she will become a wife.

The book "Liars" is an insightful psychological study that analyzes the mechanisms of manipulation and self-deception in close relationships. The author precisely draws the portrait of a woman who sacrifices her dreams and ambitions for the sake of a toxic relationship. It is a read that encourages reflection on one's own choices and motivations, and on how easily one can get lost in the expectations of others.

Claire Dederer wrote: "I have never read such an honest novel about marriage." An ideal novel for readers who appreciate contemporary, psychological and reflective literature. Immerse yourself in the world of emotions and discover the truth about the lies we tell ourselves.
