Books like If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones
While on summer break a high‑school teacher inherits a key to a storage unit from her neighbour, who is headed to the airport to elope. Inside the unit she finds another woman’s neatly packed belongings and journals that reveal a dark, erotic life. Compelled to read, the teacher becomes obsessed with the unnamed men described in the entries and begins to investigate the woman’s disappearance.
Her search turns personal when she takes on the woman’s summer art‑gallery job and finds herself drawn to a ruggedly charming artist, Chris Merit. Their attraction is full of dark desire and conflicting needs, and the teacher struggles with her own identity as she questions how much of herself she has become.
The story explores secrecy, obsession, and the pull of a hidden world that threatens to overtake a quiet life.
