A review by writerrhiannon
Impersonation by Heidi Pitlor
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Professional ghostwriter Allie lands a deal to write the memoir of a prominent women’s rights advocate whose staff believes she needs to soften her image before running for public office.
This novel was a personal gut punch for me. Allie's journey as a broke single mother with a young child stirred up so many memories and emotions, most specifically the constant worrying and despair of barely being able to make rent or find adequate, available, and affordable childcare. Author Heidi Pitlor also delivers a smart and honest behind-the-scenes look at the ghostwriting process and the ups-and-downs of working with a variety of clients. I currently handle many of the situations in this novel on a daily basis so I found myself alternating between cracking up and sighing in solidarity.
