A quiet scream of a novel.
Petty Lies is a slow-burning descent into obsession told through a patchwork of confessions, accusations, and half-truths. What begins as a seemingly straightforward story of a live-in tutor in a wealthy household quickly unravels into something much more unsettling.

Mira arrives carrying grief like a second skin, determined to right a wrong she believes has been committed against her family. But as her perspective gives way to others—each with their own fractured logic—we begin to question everything. No one here is innocent, and yet no one is fully to blame. That gray space is where Sulmi Bak works her magic.

The story unfolds through letters and journal entries, four sections, each voice pulling you deeper into a psychological maze. The writing relays a creeping dread. What impressed me most is how the novel resists clean answers. It doesn't just tell a story it pulls you straight in!
Trigger warning - There is animal violence discussed.
