About the book

About I Was Never Here

I Was Never Here A psychological thriller about memory, madness, and the lies we tell ourselves. Maya always believed survival was a skill. Raised on the South Side of Chicago with bruised knuckles and bigger dreams, she clawed her way into a life she never thought she’d have: dinner parties, diamonds, and a man who adored her. But perfection can’t hide the cracks forever. A blouse disappears. A matchbook shows up out of nowhere. A photo of her sleeping—taken by someone else. And the woman in the red coat keeps appearing, only to vanish again. As Maya’s memories blur with hallucinations, her past and identity begin to unravel. Conversations don’t add up. The artwork in every room is identical. And someone is always watching. Is Maya losing her mind or finally remembering the truth? I Was Never Here is a haunting, slow-burn psychological thriller with a twist ending you won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Verity, and The Silent Patient, this debut explores gaslighting, suppressed memory, and the cost of rewriting your past.
