The Girl I Used to Be
A perfect marriage. A perfect life. And none of it’s real…
Jill Goodman changed her whole life to marry Marc, a man twice her age. She found her Prince Charming, or so she thought, and did everything she could to become his perfect wife. His betrayal is unexpected and leaves her heartbroken. The divorce that follows leaves her penniless, except for a heavily-mortgaged beach house she’s never liked. With no other choice, Jill travels to the quirky beach town to sell the house. As she settles in and gets to know the residents, she remembers the girl she was before Marc – sassy and loud, with a passion for life as strong as her Jersey accent.
While at the shore, Jill stumbles across something in her husband’s past that changes everything. And Marc is determined to bury the evidence. Can Jill find a way out before Marc destroys her and the town she’s come to love?
A gripping, emotional read that will keep you turning the pages late into the night, perfect for fans of Amanda Prowse, Elin Hilderbrand and Diane Chamberlain.
What Readers Are Saying
“Somebody better tell Elin Hilderbrand that Heidi Hostetter is out to steal her crown. This is hands down one of the top 10 summer reads! You quickly fall in love with the Jersey Shore due to the almost artistic writing… Five huge stars.”
