Woman in red coat times two

Here are two more exact matches: The Opposite of Love by Julie Buxbaum and A Secret Alchemy by Emma Darwin. I’m not sure I like the added image bubbles on the second cover!

Thank you to Cindy at Cindy’s Love of Books for pointing out these lookalikes!

I like the one without the bubbles, too - the red is less orange in it.

I definitely like the cover on the left. The one on the right is so cluttered that my eyes don't know where to look first. Makes me wonder how that decision was made!!

I prefer "The opposite of love". I love the intensity of the red, and I don't like the bubbles on the second one

I just read A Secret Alchemy - the bubbles are actually holes that open to an "under-cover" with a wood-cut-looking picture of the Tower of London.

I prefer the cover of OPPOSITE OF LOVE, too, for all the same reasons everyone else has listed! I find this whole cover duplication thing fascinating! You would think that with thousands and thousand of photos to choose from, these occurances would be rare. Makes a fun diversion for us, tho, doesn't it?

Your welcome Avis. I was kinda shocked to find both of those covers. I prefer The Opposite of Love cover.

I'm so surprised by the number of identical book covers there are out there.

The bubbles make the book cover look cluttered.

I always love these posts!

I agree that the bubbles are distracting, but I do kinda like covers with holes in them that open up to something else.

Definitely the one without bubbles. That is bad that they use the same covers though.

I've just discovered my first cover pair! All Names Have Been Changed by Claire Kilroy and Molly Fox's Birthday by Deirdre Madden (UK covers)

I like the Opposite of Love one, because I just read that book and kinda love it. Plus the red stands out more. :p

Good catch Cindy!

I love the cover of A Secret Alchemy - and it looks a good choice too! :)

Have you noticed all the covers with two hands together holding something (like Twilight?) I've seen several apples, a heart or two, seashells....
