Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Gabby Wolf, 24, is all set to move to from Arizona to New York for the job of her dreams when her boyfriend, Cam, proposes to her 36 hours before her flight. Forced to choose between a $125K cable news production job and being a Southwestern wife with a less flashy career, Gabby makes an ambivalent gesture that Cam interprets as a yes. Distracted during their celebratory snog, Gabby makes a wish on a shooting star she espies out the window. The result: she gets to have both lives, transporting herself from one to the other whenever she falls asleep, and allowing her to live the same day twice in different places. Gabby is smart, funny and likeable, and Mlynowski does a nice job with some of the contradictions that arise (Can Gabby use advance knowledge gained in Arizona to get a jump on the news? Should she take a lover in New York?). But Gabby's life is exhausting, and the wearier one gets, the harder it is to suspend disbelief.

From Booklist
Mlynowski's latest novel is a clever look at what happens to one woman when her wish comes true and she's able to choose both paths that open in front of her. Gabby Wolf isn't sure what she wants most: to marry her devoted boyfriend, Cam, and stay in Arizona or move to New York for her dream job, producing a popular news show. She wishes she could have it both ways and the next thing she knows, she's living two lives, going back and forth between planning her wedding to Cam in Arizona and working at the fast-paced, exciting job in New York. Neither life is perfect. Though she adores Cam, his overbearing mother is hijacking her wedding plans, while in New York her roommate is somewhat unbalanced, and the dating scene is dismal. As time goes on, the choice doesn't become any easier. Gabby still loves Cam, though she's starting to love her newly assertive self that emerges in New York, too. A thoroughly original and completely delightful read. Kristine Huntley

Chic lit with thought provocation, Oct 19 2007
By JBinMD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Me Vs. Me (Paperback)
At first, I was having trouble keeping track of what was happening in this story, but I caught on quickly. In our lives, we all have choices. In this book, the heroine gets to see the consequences of taking two paths. Very interesting writing. Very interesting concept. Very enjoyable.

Another great novel!, Dec 6 2007
By Lisa Bedigian "Goddess Isa" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Me Vs. Me (Paperback)
I always enjoy Sarah's books and look forward to them, this one does not disappoint. Gabby's life is all coming together perfectly. Then her boyfriend proposes, and she says yes, then wants to say no, then wishes she could have it both ways. And then poof, she does. As Gabby lives two separate lives, she finds herself yearning for various aspects of both of them while dealing with psycho roommates and the mother-in-law-to-be from hell. This book is super-entertaining, I couldn't put it down.

Me vs Me is a GREAT read, Sep 8 2006
By Jennifer Lieder "meyo15" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Me Vs. Me (Paperback)
I bought me vs me on an impulse, I was going to do an all night flight and I wanted something that would ease me to sleep while flying. Wrong book for that! I couldn't and wouldn't put it down! Even when I got to my destination I was reading it! I laughed, I shook my head is dismay, I gasped in surprise. It is a great book and I am just looking forward to reading more of her books! I have lent it to my friends and now I have a few friends looking into Sarahs books! Good job, Sarah!
