You meets Misery in this darkly satirical psychological thriller about obsession, rejection, and revenge.

In a world obsessed with stories, the most dangerous thing she wrote was the truth.
For twenty years, Elena Cartwright has chased publication. All she has to show for it are rejection letters — hundreds of them — enough to paper the walls of her lonely cottage.
Most writers accept rejection. Elena doesn’t.
Kate Finlay is the literary agent who could change everything — the gatekeeper between Elena and the life she believes she’s owed.
So Elena stops submitting. She starts getting closer. Closer to Kate. Closer to her life. Closer than she ever should be.
Because every rejection kills. And Elena’s latest manuscript isn’t just fiction. It’s coming to life — one confession at a time.

THE BOOK OF CONFESSIONS
Rejection can be fatal.

Perfect for readers who enjoy unlikeable narrators, unreliable confessions, and psychological thrillers that blur the line between fiction and reality.
