"The Pretender"
by Ta' Mara Hanscom
by Ta' Mara Hanscom
Set in South Dakota in 1975, where eighteen-year-olds could order 3.2 beer in a bar, and loaded guns were kept under the counter.
Frankie Valli sang "My Eyes Adored You," and American soldiers returning from Vietnam struggled with their new reality.
It's within this tumultuous season of American history that Tillie Caselli meets Noah Hansen, and they are never the same again. Their lives were mysteriously intertwined-and had been for many years-yet they had no idea.
From the moment they met, Tillie and Noah wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, but a deliberate omission will keep them apart---and that same omission will be responsible for the escape of a murderer, and a bride's deception.

I do not like to give a bad review, and I always try to look for something good in the books that I review. Sadly, that is going to change with this review. I was intrigued by the summary of this book, and thought that this would be a book that I would enjoy. Unfortunately, I was wrong. This book is filled with so much sin that it was revolting and sickening. I could not even finish the book because I got so sick to my stomach at some of the things mentioned in this book. The fact that the characters in the book didn't have a problem with the immorality that was around them was very disappointing. I do not recommend this book.
Parental Guide: This book contains lots of drinking, guys trying to pick up girls at bars, keeping things from parents, lying to parents, homosexuality, etc.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Litfuse Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
