Free 7-Day returns Yesteryear is a gripping, darkly funny debut novel that tears apart the glossy surface of social media perfection and asks one bold question: what if you suddenly had to live the life you were pretending to have? Published by Knopf Canada and Penguin Random House, this razor-sharp satire delivers laughs, chills, and genuine emotional depth all in one unforgettable read.
Behind every perfectly curated life is a reality waiting to crack. A woman who built her identity on a beautiful lie wakes up one morning to find the lie has become her only world. This is not her beautiful life. And she must escape by any means possible.
