A Girl Like Her
First in a series of emotional contemporary romances from the bestselling author of Get a Life, Chloe Brown.
She's hard to hold onto, but he's good with his hands...
Prickly, autistic, and shadowed by a scandalous past, Ruth Kabbah will always be Ravenswood's black sheep. It's a lonely life, but at least it's safe... until Evan Miller comes to town.
Calm, confident, and instantly accepted by their small English town, Evan is Ruth's opposite in every way-yet he meets her suspicion with a smile, handles her awkwardness with ease, and watches her with a hunger that threatens to tear down her all her defenses.
The gossips want to know how she's bewitched him. Ruth just wants to know when he'll get bored and leave. Because if there's one thing she's learned, it's that girls like her don't get happily ever afters.
But when a monster from Ruth's past comes back to haunt her, she's forced to make a choice- should she trust Evan completely? Or is her heart safest alone?

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
