Pretend to Feel
A na茂ve and unbalanced teenage girl with claims of extraterrestrial origins only wants two things in the whole world鈥攆amily and fame鈥攂ut she can鈥檛 help getting entangled in the lives of the eccentric and troubled humans she meets along the way: Alisen Eden, a pill-popping, unemployed waitress who finds the girl strangely familiar; Neil Manson, the neurotic psychology grad student Alisen is trying to seduce; a horror film director with delusions of grandeur; the charismatic and libidinous leader of a mysterious UFO-worshipping cult; and the stoic stranger known only as 19. As it turns out that life on Earth isn鈥檛 what she thought it would be, does she even care enough to figure out where she really came from and what she鈥檚 supposed to do now?
