Now, imagine your sister-in-law writing a book about your life without your permission and trying to publish it! 😱 That's exactly what happened to one woman, who found herself in a legal battle with her own family member. The sister-in-law, an aspiring writer, had been working on a "secret project" for years, only to reveal that it was a thinly-veiled biography of the woman's life. Let's dive into this shocking story! 🍿

NTA's sister-in-law wrote a novel based on her life without permission. Replies suggest sister-in-law is unlikely to make significant money from self-publishing, and should have changed names/appearances of characters.
