When being himself became inconvenient, our protagonist found a simple solution. He became someone else. He soon found that the life of an imposter has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, he gets to leave the past behind, meet interesting people, and have experiences he never would have had as himself. On the other hand, no one truly knows him. And his ever-present secret will not be easily ignored.
Pretending is an unconventional drama about how far one man will go to escape himself. Our lead character uses charm, manipulation, and frequent costume changes to seek answers while questioning his very existence. What happens when our decisions are influenced by guilt and fear?

Pretending is the story of a man who decides to become a new person every day. He changes his physical appearance dramatically each time. It's the kind of book that you can't wait to know what's going to happen next. I found myself unable to put the short read down until I got to the end. It was worth it. It is both interesting and thought provoking. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of a mystery with your drama.
