Written by Sowmya Gopi
This intriguingly disturbing and brilliant novel has all the tendencies to make one go crazy. The story revolves around two characters, and we are introduced to Liz, a single mother of two. She is a lovely caring person who is struggling with her income to keep her and her children’s life together. The only child support she has is from her abusive ex-husband who is far from being helpful. But one day, when her ex-husband assaults her, she fights back. Another side of her comes out with such rage and frustration that even she didn’t know she had.
Then we meet Fran. A high school kid, who suffered a horrifying abduction nearly 10 years ago and still bears the mental scars from the experience. Her trauma caused her to begin to hallucinate. She looks for comfort in her imaginary fox friend, Lady Jinx. Her only emotional support is her single father and therapist, but sometimes the pain gets too much to handle.
Their life gets intertwined when Fran meets Liz’s son. How they struggle with themselves will keep you on the edge of your seat. With each page the suspense keeps accelerating and you cannot put the book down until you finish it. It’s a devouring tale of a single mother and a teenager, who you’d be rooting for from the very beginning. A complete psychological thriller, where the author messes with your head and makes you wonder about the demons that live within us.
Someone Like Me is now available from Amazon, Book Depository, and other good book retailers.

Synopsis | Goodreads
SHE LOOKS LIKE ME. SHE SOUNDS LIKE ME. NOW SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE MY PLACE.
Liz Kendall wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a gentle woman devoted to bringing up her kids in the right way, no matter how hard times get.
But there’s another side to Liz—one which is dark and malicious. A version of her who will do anything to get her way, no matter how extreme or violent.
And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating.
The only way Liz can save herself and her family is if she can find out where this new alter-ego has come from, and how she can stop it.
