Leeswammes' Blog | 3 May 2012
I didn’t find the characters 100% convincing in the aftermath of the ordeal they went through... seem to play their role only when it suited the particular storyline that was focused on at any time.

The Book Chick | 9 May 2012
an excellent book. It is a page-turner, impossible to put down, and it is incredibly well-written... More Like Her had me riveted from the first page until the very last.

Peeking Between the Pages | 10 May 2012
I found More Like Her to be a book that I had trouble putting down and finished in a day. It grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the last page. Well worth reading and highly recommended!

A disjointed story line and unlikable characters made this a difficult read.

No More Grumpy Bookseller Blog | 25 May 2012
Liza Palmer maintains a delicate balance between the horrors of spousal abuse and Frannie's self discovery... Palmer does a good job creating both a story that draws the reader in and a heroine that is ultimately relatable.

a book that is so good, it makes you change the way you think... More Like Her is literally one of the best novels I have read in a very long time.

Publishers Weekly | 20 Feb 2012
the second half of the book suffers as the incompatible tones of the two story lines grate against each other.

Frannie’s monologues weigh More Like Her down. More action and less talking would probably make things more interesting

Chloe's Chick Lit Reviews Blog | 25 Jan 2012
Palmer's writing style was a joy to read too, slowly unfolding the story... If you want chick lit with a difference, something that packs a bit of a punch and is a meaty read, then look no further than a copy of More Like Her.

Book Equals | 10 May 2012
gripping, gut-wrenching moment so powerful that the rest of the book is fueled by the emotions it invokes... Palmer brings them to life with her inexhaustible wit, yet gives each of them an individual personality,

Liza Palmer is chick lit without the fluff and feathers. She knows real people. Her characters are people we know—are us— and they talk like real people, too. If you haven't read her, check her out!

Kritters Ramblings | 19 Apr 2012
I wasn't immediately hooked to any of the female characters... Throughout the book there was a lot of internal dialogue that sometimes repeated things that the reader already knew

this author has a deft hand with characterization. The characters have a solid reality... If you like books that move you out of your comfort zone... I recommend you read this book... It’s worth it.

A Musing Reviews | 23 Apr 2012
there is a lot of dialogue I struggled to get through. Jill and Frannie have their own language and understanding of one another... I didn't feel like I knew them well enough to finish their thoughts... It's also a little slow at times and transitions were not clear for me.

The writing in this one felt almost frenetic - there were huge jumps in thought and dialogue which sometimes even made it feel fractured.
