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.

    The book is written as if every word was looked up with a thesaurus for the most fancy sounding synonym. It gets really old.

    A tale of dark secrets and the lengths family will go to keep them that way. While I had some idea of where the story was leading me, the ending was so sick and disturbing I was truly caught off guard.

    This is a story I will not forget for a long time. Searching for answers can become an endless journey that can change everything you thought you knew. The story tugs at the reader’s heart strings and rattles your mind. Totally shocking from beginning to end.

    I read this so annoyed with this post broken boy, then compassion kicked in and I realized that he did more than what 16 year olds are capable of. Keeping that in mind, you will feel his angst and sadness and despair. A heartbreaking read for anyone interested in being depressed! I wish I could reach out and give Wayland the hug he so desperately needs. Enjoy.
