![]() ![]() Halley informs Scarlett that she will be there for her no matter what, even if she does decide to keep the baby. While Scarlett fights with her mother about what she should do about the pregnancy, she struggles to hold onto the piece of Michael that she still has left. While Scarlett and her boyfriend, Michael, hadn’t been together long (only for the summer), Scarlett had loved him, and nothing has been the same without him.Īnd then Scarlett finds out she’s pregnant, and things get even more complicated for her. So Halley calls her mother, who is very displeased about making the trip to come and pick her up, and heads home to be there for the person she cares about most.Īlmost the end of summer, Halley comforts Scarlett as much as she can before school starts back up, the two of them spending afternoons together and trying to make the most of things, despite the depressing situation. Her best friend, Scarlett, is calling to ask her to come home, because her boyfriend has died in a motorcycle accident, and she isn’t sure she can handle it by herself. Halley, who was named after her grandmother, is currently at summer camp (that she hates and was forced there by her mother) when she gets an important phone call late one night. For me, this book was the equivalent of wrapping myself up in a blanket on a cold and snowy day with a cup of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. Someone Like You is like that comfortable T-shirt that you want to wear when you’re feeling down or a favorite movie that you watch when you want to feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside. The story between the beautiful pages is one of loss, love, and friendship, and it is told in such a gorgeously emotional way that made me hold onto this book and read through until the end, and then I found myself desperately wanting to read it again right away. The colors and the simplicity are great touches! I know some of Sarah Dessen’s books have had several cover makeovers through the years, but I think this is probably my favorite for this book. The first thing that I love about this book is the absolutely beautiful cover. In fact, I loved it so much, I’m in the process of collecting and reading all of her books, because I think I may have found a new favorite author. Their friendship may bend under the weight of these struggles, but it will never break–because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.Available for purchase at:Apple - Audiobook (Downloadable format)Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)audiobooks.Okay, so this is the first book by Sarah Dessen that I’ve read, despite the fact that I’ve been reading young adult books for like 15 years now and the sheer amount of books that I’ve torn through in that time is probably enough to go to the moon and back like seventeen times.īut yes, this is my very first Sarah Dessen book, and I absolutely loved it. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. Soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. The two of them balance each other perfectly–until the beginning of their junior year, when Scarlett's boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident. People know Scarlett as the popular, flamboyant one Halley's just the quiet sidekick, but she doesn't mind. Halley and Scarlett have been friend for years.
