Too Good To Be True: A short novel

By Nikita Zabzine

He lied about his job.
Then he had to build an entire life to prove it was true.

Andy did everything right.

He earned the degree. Followed the rules. Believed that hard work would build a life worth living. Instead, he's back in his teenage bedroom. Unemployed. Broke. Watching everyone else move forward without him. Then he meets Charlotte. Smart. Confident. Successful. When she asks what Andy does for a living, he lies. He tells her he has a good job. He tells her he has money. He lets her believe he's already successful. At first it feels harmless. Just a temporary version of the man he's about to become. But the lie works. Soon there are candlelit dinners. Sleek cars. An apartment overlooking the city lights. Charlotte is falling in love with him. The only problem? She's falling for someone who doesn't exist.
