What is an example of simile in the novel, The Widow?

Similes:

"I've always wondered what it would feel like if I let out the secret. Sometimes I daydream about it and I can hear myself saying: 'My husband saw Bella the day she was taken.' And I feel the physical release, like a rush to the head” (177).

Here you go, Jean, she says. 'Try these on to see if they fit.' Funny how she keeps using my name. Like a nurse. Or a con man."

He said it was like a dream. He stopped to eat his lunch and look at his paper in a side street and saw her at the garden gate, looking at him.
