I enjoyed reading this book. I found it a quick read. The characters were likeable and very human...faults and all. To me the book was comparable to a snap shot in the fact that it dealt with a small space of time in the heroines life. Life goes on and people survive and flourish. I just wish it would have had a different ending. The old knight in shinning armor type happy ending. Still overall it was a nice, sweet story.

This is the first books I have read by this author. From page one until the end, I had trouble putting this book down. The story was cute and entertaining. What a great read!

Veronica's long-time husband Hank leaves her for an older woman. Usually men leave their wives for younger women, but that's another story. Veronica is now a divorced mother of one trying to make ends meet the best she can.

She gets a great deal on a small guest house, as long as she is willing to chauffeur the landlord's kids around, including school. Veronica is a substitute teacher, so when those kids are late, she's late, and it really aggrivates her.

She's always been mistaken for young Hollywood superstar Haley Rush, but she doesn't know why. They look nothing alike, but when Haley's manager offers Veronica a job, it's too irresistible to refuse.

She gets to wear Haley's clothes, drive Haley's cars, get her hair done, spray tanned, and hang out at all the elite celebrity hang-outs. The best part is she gets paid $100 an hour and gets to be chummy with hot and sexy Brady Ellis, Haley's ex-boyfriend and co-star. All she has to do is act like Haley, because Haley is half crazy and won't leave her house.

But since Veronica changed her appearance just a bit, she has men flirting and falling all over her lately. Maybe Veronica is changing her attitude about life and love and just maybe it will all work out in the end. But trying to keep the two lives separated is becoming harder. Live like a princess during the day, and substitute cub scout mom at night have their own rewards.

Just Like Me, Only Better is a can't put down read! I loved this book!! It has humor, romance, and a peek into the life of a celebrity that leaves you wondering, did they really do that? Veronica is a wonderful character, charming, pretty, and down-to-earth. This is the first work I've read of Ms. Snows, but definitely not the last. Highly Recommend!!
