I Am Not Who You Think I Am

“I am not who you think I am”

Eight words that intrigued, the brought questions, that caused tension and hid a secret.

Wayland hides the note that says those eight words after witnessing his father commit suicide. He doesn’t tell anyone until years later, when he begins to question the identity of the man, he witnessed committing suicide. Wayland begins to look for answers at his local library.

This was slow to start for me but slowly and surely grabbed my attention and sucked me in. I was wondering what Wayland would find learn. What secrets will be revealed? What truths will see the light of day?

From slow burn to tension filled, this book depicts a mystery of the past, explores grief, the search for truth, how lives can be changed. Wayland was a character to feel for. He never received the help he should have – witnessing a traumatizing event, being teased for his fingers, he slowly begins to change. He had two friends, but it was his dog, Molly who gave him unconditional love.

This was my first book by Rickstad but will not be my last.
