Why read it?
1 author picked Impersonation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love it when stories are told through the lens of contemporary issues but still manage to be deeply personal and funny. Impersonation fits the bill, taking place against the backdrop of #MeToo and the Trump presidency, and starring sharp-witted forty-year-old single mom Allie Lang, who you root for right from the start.

It’s a nearly impossible task—until Allie starts bringing herself to the page.
