Description
You are a HUMAN MAN navigating every day life, dating, bus etiquette, and other important human concerns. You are definitely NOT A WOLF.
Life is good. You have a job, an apartment in a nice part of town, and an online dating profile that’s recently yielded as many as three matches. From the outside, it would appear you’re a human man that has all the pieces of a stable and functional life. But you also have a horrible secret. You’re not a human man at all. You're a WOLF.
Based on the immensely popular Twitter account @SickOfWolves, this interactive story follows you, (who, if anyone asks, is NOT A WOLF) as you go about normal life, making choices that will either reveal your true identity or allow you to keep your cover. Each choice is crucial to your survival and, more importantly, your burgeoning graphic design career. Will you navigate water cooler gossip without arousing suspicion? Can you go on a date without bringing up how much you love ham? Or is it perhaps time to throw this human world to the wind and return to the woods from whence you came?

I Am Not a Wolf was a very fun read! In this interactive book, the reader sees the world through a wolf-in-human-clothing's eyes. The ending I got was satisfying, and I've already reread for a few additional endings. Dan Sheehan's voice was well developed, and the wolf's feelings could be felt through the pages. I would recommend this to a friend who wants a fun read that's not lacking in stakes.

I Am not a Wolf is a choose-your-own-adventure book. I was searching for this type of book lately, but it is not easy to find one. You flip the pages back and forth based on your decisions, and that's how you assemble your own story. The book format also includes a few funny illustrations.
I enjoyed the story and narration a lot. And I would recommend it to those who like choose-your-own-adventure books, or those who appreciate reading something different for entertainment.
Thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

You can totally trust that piece of glass in your pocket when anyone tells you they are not a wolf pretending to be a man. Embrace your inner ALL CAPS with the hilariously astute observations by @sickofwolves, a 5 STAR, CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE TREAT!

Fun read. An adult make your own adventure. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. Also thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook.

This was so much FUN! Not only was the choose-your-own-adventure format unexpected, the insights and outsider humor were well-drawn, and the characters were completely alive. I read each option through to its conclusion and couldn't pick a favorite - they were all satisfying!

My thanks to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I am Not a Wolf, born from the Twitter account SickofWolves, is an interactive book in which you are a wolf pretending to be a man, trying to live his life as all humans do. At the end of every chapter, you have to choose out of two different options that will take you on very different paths, until your life as a wolf reaches its end and that too varies depending on your previous choices.
It was fun getting to choose my own adventure in this life as a human-wannabe wolf, and the way he tries really hard to understand men and be like them managed to make me laugh out loud at times. The story also includes some very good drawings by Sage Coffey.
