More Like Her
Autor Liza Palmeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 ian 2012
Frannie has spent her life disguising who she really is for fear of falling short of other people's expectations. And when she meets her new boss, Frannie can't help but wish she was just a bit more like her. Because Emma has it all: the job, the lifestyle, the happy marriage... even the perfect dog.
But everything is not as it seems. And Frannie's about to find out - in the hardest way possible - that chasing perfection isn't necessarily the route to the happy life that she's always imagined it to be.
A heartbreaking and romantic story about love, life, friendship and the true importance of chasing your own dreams.

Praise for MORE LIKE HER:
'Really enjoyable read by an author that certainly knows how to surprise her readers! It was highly emotional, disturbing and sad in certain moments, yet romantic at the same time...extremely entertaining, enlightening and interesting'
This is sharp, funny, clever and very romantic. The story, about a young woman downsizing her expectations in the wake of a tragedy, might not be new, but Palmer's handling of it is surprisingly fresh and engaging.
'The book is a well-plotted examination of domestic violence, chasing unattainable dreams and hiding one's real self. The dialogue is sparky, the characters engaging and this is by all means a great read.'
Engaging and poignant and heartbreakingly real, Liza Palmer's tale of best friends, true love and just what size happily-ever-after wears is a winning conversation
Liza Palmer is definitely one of my new favorite writers!
Slick and highly readable
A subtly sophisticated romance that outclasses most of the genre's other offerings... If it sounds chick litty, it is, but consider it haute chick lit. Palmer's prose is sharp, her characters are solid and her narrative is laced with moments of graceful sentiment
Smart, funny and heartbreakingly honest.
'Palmer's likeable characters and snappy dialogue make this novel stand out from the crowd... This quick-witted author is sure to develop a following.'

Textul de pe ultima copertă
What really goes on behind those perfect white picket fences?
In Frances’s mind, beautiful, successful, ecstatically married Emma Dunham is the height of female perfection. Frances, recently dumped with spectacular drama by her boyfriend, aspires to be just like Emma. So do her close friends and fellow teachers, Lisa and Jill. But Lisa’s too career-focused to find time for a family. And Jill’s recent unexpected pregnancy could have devastating consequences for her less-than-perfect marriage.
Yet sometimes the golden dream you fervently wish for turns out to be not at all what it seems—like Emma’s enviable suburban postcard life, which is about to be brutally cut short by a perfect husband turned killer. And in the shocking aftermath, three devastated friends are going to have to come to terms with their own secrets . . . and somehow learn to move forward after their dream is exposed as a lie.
