Description

The Opposite of Me - Lindsey Rose has always lived in the shadow of her devastatingly beautiful twin sister, Alex. Determined to be noticed, Lindsey has put in years of hard work and is about to be named Creative Vice President of an elite New York advertising agency. But fate has other plans and in one awful night, Lindsey's life implodes. In desperation, Lindsey flees to her parents' Maryland home, and finds herself taking a job in a dating service - and having the time of her life. She even begins to have a real, sisterly relationship with Alex, until they both fall in love with the same guy. Then a long-held family secret is unleashed, and Lindsey is flipped into the one place she never thought she'd land. Skipping a Beat - Julia and Michael meet in high school, and shortly after graduation they flee their old life to start afresh. Now in their thirties, they are living the dream life in their multi-million dollar home. Julia has become a highly sought-after events manager while Michael has launched a successful company. One day, Michael stands up at the head of the table in his company's boardroom - then silently crashes to the floor. A portable defibrillator manages to jump-start his heart but, when he wakes, Michael makes a decision that turns Julia's world upside down. Should she walk away from the man she once adored or should she give in to her husband's pleas for a second chance and a promise of a poorer but happier life?
