Page 32 | Is it time to ‘come clean’ about Coming Clean?

I bought this book and followed Liz Frazer on social because I was genuinely interested in her story. However, having purchased her book with the understanding that it was a genuine account of her travels and troubles with alcoholic, Mike, it increasingly appears that much of the content and subsequent media interviews, articles and social media are pretty much this, a fabrication of the truth and with many of the actual facts omitted. For example, how Liz met Mike and her prior knowledge of his alcohol and other challenges are at best glossed over and at worst, well if you know, you know. Many in Cambridge do know and let’s say, it might be a great time to ‘come clean’ now life is seemingly looking to be on the up. I do think as one of seemingly many who bought this “best selling” selling book, I deserve to know whether this is a genuine account or if it is a fictional biography. I think many of us can admit to fabricating/glossing over facts when recounting our own trials and tribulations. The difference is we’re not selling our ‘story’ as fact for money or representing a charity organisation (National Centre for Domestic Violence NCDV) set up to support and followed by people who deserve full and frank honesty. Am I alone in think this?
