Pretend I’m Dead is the first novel published by writer Jen Beagin.[1] It was followed by a sequel novel titled Vacuum in the Dark.

[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Pretend_I_m_Dead/QmFEDwAAQBAJ?hl=en Pretend I’m Dead] was shortlisted for The Center for Fiction’s 2018 First Novel Prize.[2]

In Kirkus Reviews, the novel received a starred review and was listed on Kirkus' Best Debut Fiction of 2018.[3]

"What gives this novel its heart is Beagin’s capacity for seeing: As Mona cleans peoples’ homes, we learn that the wealthy, well-dressed, superior individuals who pay her to scrub their toilets are just as messed up as the addicts and prostitutes and gamblers she encounters outside of work. This is not a new theme, of course, but Beagin makes it fresh with her sly, funny, compassionate voice. This is a terrific debut. Singularly enjoyable." Kirkus Review[4]
Emily Books gave an early positive review of the first edition of Pretend I’m Dead, published in 2015 as a paperback by Northwestern University Press.[5][6]

With a new cover designed by Alex Merto, the novel was reissued as a hardcover in 2018 by Simon & Schuster.[7]
