How does Susan Elizabeth Phillips use imagery in Match Me If You Can?

Imagery:

"If Annabelle Granger were a few inches taller, a hell of a lot more sophisticated, better organized, less bossy, and more inclined to worship at his feet, she'd have made a perfect wife."

"But when they made love, he saw another woman, one who was insecure, generous, and full of heart, and he couldn't get past thinking that this softer, unguarded woman was the real Portia Powers, Still, what kind of idiot fell for someone who needed so badly to be fixed."
