I Hate Me, Who Do You Hate?

by Maureen Reil

Amber hates herself, she hates everything about herself, from her curly, red hair to her bad habits of smoking, drinking and shoplifting. But most of all, she hates feeling unlovable and that's caused by a deep-seated angst of letting anyone too close in case they abandon her too, just like her mother did.

So when Amber realises that she has been dumped, made homeless and up to her eyes in debt and in constant fear of losing her job as a beauty therapist. Well, can her life get any worse? Yes, it can, when she finds herself pregnant. Helping her deal with this is a colourful cast of characters that will make sure she gets through it, one way or another.

When Amber impersonates a singing sensation, her world is about to be turned upside down once again. Is there more to them looking like sisters than meets the eye? Will Amber discover the truth about her mother? Will Amber ever learn to love herself, even if she gets closure on this? Join Amber on her laughter-filled journey, with all the domestic drama added for an engaging and entertaining read in this funny British novel.

About the author

Maureen Reil writes romantic comedies and humour filled short story collections full of heart. And they end in a happy ever after for the female main character and her dishy male love interest but not before a whole book full of funny situations take place, of course. If that sounds like a fun read and something you’d enjoy then she has had over 37 books published, so far, to choose from but she's always working on a new manuscript to add to that tally so she’s not done yet. Maureen is a wife and mother who was born in the city of Liverpool, but resides in semi-rural Lancashire UK. She still longs to live back by the sea because there’s nothing like breathing in that fresh salty air as opposed to the countryside smell of whatever manure the farmers use in her area (always on the same day she hangs her washing out, she notes like it’s a conspiracy against clean clothes or something). She even misses having sand everywhere when opening up the doors and windows, instead of flies in the summertime. While it was always a dream of hers to become a novelist ever since she wrote stories in school, she didn’t believe that one day she would get to make that wish come true so she is forever grateful to anyone who reads her work. And when Maureen is not writing, she is usually reading but thinking about writing because let’s face it; life is one big story so there’s plenty to write about.
