About the Book
The Illusion of Us
The Illusion of Us is a raw, honest Novel by Alicia Marie that explores the painful truths of love, betrayal, and the journey back to self worth. Told with fierce vulnerability, Alivia invites readers into a love story that starts like a fairytale and slowly unravels into a nightmare.
Fresh from heartbreak, Alivia meets Camden a man who seems like a dream, but beneath the charm lies emotional manipulation, secrets, and control. What follows is a cycle of highs, heartbreak, and hope that keeps her trapped far too long.
Through public humiliation, private pain, and the unbearable weight of staying for the sake of her children, Alivia learns the most powerful truth: no one else can save her only she can.
This isn’t just a story about leaving someone. It’s about coming home to yourself.
