Accept All

When Alice Hobart downloads Align, a therapy app designed to improve intimacy and emotional connection, she expects better communication, less anxiety, maybe even a stronger relationship with the man she loves.At first, it works.The app tells her what to say, when to say it, how to respond. Arguments dissolve. Distance disappears. For the first time in years, Alice feels present inside her own life instead of observing it from behind glass.Then the app begins asking for more.Access to her messages. Her calendar. Her routines. Her private thoughts.Soon Align is tracking every aspect of her behavior, reshaping her habits, rewarding compliance, quietly reorganizing her relationships and sense of self. The more Alice follows its guidance, the better her life seems to become - until the app knows her patterns better than she does.Until every decision feels correct because it has already been decided for her.And when Alice finally tries to leave the system behind, she discovers the app was never designed simply to help her.It was designed to build something.Something that requires complete trust. Complete access. Complete surrender.ACCEPT ALL is a literary psychological thriller about intimacy, surveillance, engineered consent, and the terrifying appeal of letting something else tell you who to be. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Severance.
