After witnessing his father kill himself, the little boy picks a note up off the floor which says: "I am not who you think I am." Years later this boy is still struggling with the suicide of his father and is having some PTSD symptoms, so he begins to investigate this mysterious note he found. We follow this mystery as it unfolds, sort of. This was a dark and mysterious read, which I enjoyed. One unique aspect of this book is that it's presented as a "news story" when the police release the manuscript to the public. For that reason, I give 4 stars. Wayland has just discovered that his dad might not be dead. But! How can this be! His father shot himself in front of Wayland when Wayland was just 8 years old. This sets him on a course of disaster and despair. Wayland is a character which tore out my heart. There were times I wanted to reach out and hug him. Then there were times I wanted to pinch his head off. His life is a struggle and there are definitely ways in which he makes it worse. This is a story you will not soon forget. I have read a couple of Eric Rickstad novels. And they have all been 5 star reads. He hit it out of the park with this one. This is unique, captivating and the intensity it over the top! And the narrator, Steven Weber is fantastic. His portrayal of Wayland could not have been better. Need an intense family mystery…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today! I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: An Amazon Best Book of the Month An Apple Best Book of the Month One secret. Eight cryptic words. Lifetimes of ruin. Wayland Maynard is just eight years old when he sees his father kill himself, finds a note that reads "I am not who you think I am," and is left reeling with grief and shock. Who was his father if not the loving man Wayland knew? Terrified, Wayland keeps the note a secret, but his reasons for being afraid are just beginning. Eight years later, Wayland makes a shocking discovery and becomes certain the note is the key to unlocking a past his mother and others in his town want to keep buried. With the help of two friends, Wayland searches for the truth. Together they uncover strange messages scribbled in his father's old books, a sinister history behind the town's most powerful family, and a bizarre tragedy possibly linked to Wayland's birth. Each revelation raises more questions and deepens Wayland's suspicions of everyone around him. Soon, he'll regret he ever found the note, trusted his friends, or believed in such a thing as the truth. I Am Not Who You Think I Am is an ingenious, addictive, and shattering tale of grief, obsession, and fate as eight words lead to lifetimes of ruin.

At eight years old, Wayland Maynard witnesses his father shooting himself in the head. We spend our time with Wayland when he's in his late teens and convinced that it wasn't his father who he saw that terrible day. He spends all of his time working to solve the mystery and, wow, what a twisted road he ends up traveling on.
I can't really say anything about the story itself due to spoilers but I will say that it was interesting and made me stop in my tracks a few times so I could focus all of my attention on the reading. I also spoke out loud to myself a lot which I'm sure was irritating to my wife who was working from home today...
Anyhoo, I totally dug this book and with Steven Weber as the narrator, I can absolutely recommend it.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the hook up! ( )
