Cover Coincidence: Men I’ve Loved Before by Adele Parks

Posted By Leah on April 27th, 2010

I was just browsing on Amazon, minding my own business when the cover for Zadie Smith’s book Changing My Mind caught my eye. I thought it looked incredibly familiar and I soon realised where I’d seen it before - barring the colours, it looks identical to Adele Park’s new cover design for Men I’ve Loved Before. Similar, no? I would assume they were both designed by the same person, otherwise it’s one heck of a coincidence!

I have to admit, seeing a cover design so similar makes it feel a little less special considering this is Adele’s new look with her new publishers! I’m not even a fan of the cover, anyway, to be honest - as it’s a bit blah for my tastes. What do you think of the similar covers?

Am not a fan of either cover. As you say….a bit blah…not very eyecathing. Also, not so good having covers so similar….not good for the authors

I like the swirls and the arty feel, it would probably make me pick up the book. That said, I don’t find the Zadie Smith bold enough and it is a shame that are so similar.

OMG. I had no idea and I doubt either ppublisher will. What a nightmare! Still we write in very seperate genres and maybe ZS isn’t set in stone…mine is though so maybe I’ll just have to accept my new look has a twin!
