"In a riveting and forensic examination of the case of Gayle Newman, a woman accused by her former best friend ofimpersonating a man during sex and convicted of ‘rape by deception’, Izabella Scott interrogates the case from every conceivable angle. Exposing the slippery side of consent law, the many myths and archetypes that crowd the courtroom, and the shifting rules of deceptive sex, Scott questions: Whose narratives are heard? Who is seen as a credible victim and what is considered a credible crime? The Bed Trick: Sex and Deception on Trial is a lucid, vivid story about stories—their limits, their merits—and the ways we lie in love, in life, and in law."
