Someone Like Me

Someone Like Me

by M . R . Carey (Author), M. R. Carey (Author)

Synopsis

From the author of the million-copy bestselling The Girl With All the Gifts comes an extraordinary new psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming . . .

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.

Liz Kendall wouldn't hurt a fly.

Even when times get tough, she's devoted to bringing up her kids in a loving home.

But there's another side to Liz, one that's dark and malicious. An alter-ego that will do anything to get her way - no matter how extreme.

And when this other side of her takes control, the consequences are devastating.

Someone Like Me is the intoxicating new thriller from the phenomenal M. R. Carey. A modern take on the Jekyll and Hyde tale, think Gone Girl meets Stephen King - but you won't have read anything quite like this before . . .
