Danielle Erin Batistini. Raised in a family of achievers, she has spent her entire life chasing perfection. As a daughter, sister, granddaughter, and niece, every expectation rests on her shoulders. To prove she's worthy, she believes every sacrifice must be rewarded with flawless grades. Fear of failure keeps her awake night after night, pushing herself beyond her limits through academic competitions, leadership roles, and countless extracurricular activities-all to become the perfect student everyone expects her to be. But what happens when the girl who has always lived for perfection meets someone who sees beyond her achievements? Someone who accepts not only her successes, but also her flaws, insecurities, and imperfections. For the first time, she begins to wonder if she deserves to be loved for who she is-not for what she accomplishes.

Georgina Mary Suarez. Girls Like Her Ever since she was young, she had her future planned out-graduate, build a stable career, and never repeat the mistakes that left her mother raising a family alone. Love was never part of the plan. If it ever came, she assumed it would be simple. Normal. Easy. College, however, has a way of challenging everything she thought she knew about herself. Caught between the comfort of a boy who seems to understand her and the unexpected connection she forms with a girl who makes her question everything, she begins to struggle with feelings she can't explain. Is it admiration? Curiosity? Friendship? Or something she's been too afraid to name? As family expectations, personal dreams, and the fear of disappointing the people she loves begin to collide, she finds herself facing a question she never imagined asking: Can you keep living the life you've planned when your heart wants something entirely different? Girls Like Her is a coming-of-age novel about identity, first love, family expectations, and the quiet courage it takes to choose the life that feels true-even when no one, not even yourself, is ready for the answer.
