Cybil reconciles disasters for a living. But when her husband starts keeping a second set of books, this CPA decides to run an audit of her own.

After fifteen years of marriage, Cybil knows the numbers don't lie. So when her husband, Lucan, suddenly locks his phone, starts speaking in Gen-Z slang, and buys a wardrobe of muscle shirts, she spots the fraud immediately. Instead of a messy confrontation, Cybil taps into her forensic accounting skills and gathers the receipts.

Enter Trixie, a breezy, twenty-four-year-old fictional dental hygienist with a gap-toothed grin and zero drama, custom-built by Cybil on a dating app to be her husband’s ultimate weakness.

It takes Lucan exactly four seconds to swipe right.

What begins as a fact-finding mission quickly escalates into a laugh-out-loud, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse from the other side of the living room couch. As Lucan jumps through increasingly ridiculous hoops to impress a woman who doesn't exist, including sweating through a $490 studded leather jacket at the breakfast bar, Cybil meticulously prepares the ultimate public reckoning.

Razor-sharp and wildly satisfying, I Catfished My Husband is a sparkling women's fiction comedy about losing your marriage, finding your nerve, and the glorious revenge of a woman who always keeps the receipts.
