I found myself forgetting that this was a work of fiction, for within the pages is the type of bizarreness that can only be found in reality—the way real life can unfold into chaos and is wrought with unforeseeable events. Truth be told, fiction is much more predictable.

I Am Not Gog by Matthew James Hunt is the story of a child who had been bullied and abused until she reached her breaking point and became an unhinged middle-aged woman. Driven to insanity by the loathsome behaviour inflicted upon her, Lydia felt she had no other option than to take revenge on the only person in close vicinity associated with the abhorrent acts from her childhood. With a gun and a plan, the supermarket standoff was only the beginning of her journey. Readers are taken on a life-changing and character-driven journey with Lydia as she leaves the only home she has ever known and sets off to confront her past, which is the only way she can put it behind her

I Am Not Gog is a reminder to captive audiences that stand back and observe atrocious actions without interfering that their inaction and attention reinforce the doer's behaviour and make them equally compliant. It is also a story of growth, friendship, and the quest for freedom. Everything about this book moved me—the unpredictable characters, the unsettling actions of the protagonist and the people in her life, and the ending. When I end a book with tears in my eyes, I know I have just finished a masterpiece. The British dialogue in this story was believable and fun to read. reinforce The British dialogue in this story was believable and fun to read, reinforcing the authenticity of the characters and their experiences.

It added an extra layer of depth to the narrative, making it even more engaging and immersive for the readers. Additionally, the story's exploration of growth, friendship, and the quest for freedom resonated deeply with me, leaving a lasting impact on my perspective and understanding of human nature. i gave this book a 4.5 out of 5
