Every morning, I put on my armor, the armor made of a thousand little lies I tell myself: I'm a good mom, I have a great marriage, I'm writing a book, and the past is the past. But today, lies exploded and everything will be different!

The movie of the same name will be released in North America on August 16, starring Cate Blanchett. I'm Biyi, I'm 15 years old. Our family is in Seattle and has almost all the conditions that a model elite family should have: my father is a technology genius, and his TED talk is ranked fourth in broadcasts; I am considered a genius child, with straight A grades, and prestigious schools are trying to get me before I graduate; my mother, Bernadette, is said to have a glorious past, but now I can only list 12 of her weird behaviors. She insisted that we live in an old house that was dilapidated, leaky, and overgrown with weeds. She never left the house, outsourced household chores to a virtual assistant in India, and had a fight with her neighbor... In two days, our family was going to travel to Antarctica. A series of strange things happened on the eve of departure, making Bernadette a dangerous person in the community. But the strangest thing is that she disappeared in the toilet at home...

My name is Biyi, I am 15 years old. My mother, Bernadette, disappeared. Our family was originally a model family: my father was a technological genius; before I graduated from high school, prestigious schools came to rob me; and my mother, Bernadette, I heard she also had a glorious past. But lately she's been getting weirder and weirder. She insisted that we live in a dilapidated, leaky, overgrown house, never leaving home, outsourcing household chores to a virtual assistant in India, and getting into fights with her neighbors. But the strangest thing was that two days before Christmas, she disappeared from the toilet at home... Soon, I received a shocking package of truth. Although I always thought Bernadette was my best friend, I never really got to know her.
