She includes the crude with the charming, the hurt with the heart, and for me, this feels more authentic than what I usually read. I so appreciate that Liza writes female friendships in a way that doesn't fetishize (I wish I could think of a more apt word) female friendships. Jill and Frannie are close friends, but they're also professional rivals, and the negotiation of the stickiness of that relationship is more fascinating than you'd imagine. For a lot of people, work relationships are a huge part of their lives and the ups and downs and jealousies that come with those sorts of relationships. The friendships in More Like Her center around Frannie's work and this is something I don't think I've encountered written quite this well. More Like Her is full of authentic emotion, humor and messy realness than worked for me on a number of levels.Īnd Frannie is probably the main character I found most personally relatable among Liza Palmer's novels.
