Couple's therapy? Puppy yoga? Full moon rituals? She's got everyone in the remote village of B cken covered. The locals don't really know who Cassi is or how she managed to turn a derelict cottage into a successful self help retreat, but one thing is clear- they're all willing to pay good money for her services.  There's only one problem- Cassi is a fraud. A great one at that, who has concealed her true self - a jobless, depressed alcoholic - and gotten rich in the process. But can a life based on a lie really last? And will her new friends accept her for who she really is when her secrets eventually come to the surface?  My Year As A Fraud  is a heart-warming, hilarious and healing translated debut novel about hitting rock bottom and finding your way back from an unmissable new voice in Swedish fiction.
