I love the friendship aspect of this one. Halley and Scarlett are awesome. And I really had high hopes for Macon. Loved this.

This book made me laugh and it made me smile as I saw a beautiful real friendship I recognized. It was smart, fun and emotional and truly, truly enjoyable.

Would have probably enjoyed as a young teen - fifteenish.

This summer I am determined to read as many Sarah Dessen books as I can, and Someone Like You was the first on my list. Also, I'm bringing back the reviews. Sorry not sorry!
While I normally love Sarah Dessen, this one just fell short for me. It was written in 1998 so some of the language and topics are a little dated, but aside from that the story just paled in comparison to [b:Saint Anything|23009402|Saint Anything|Sarah Dessen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1414680105l/23009402._SY75_.jpg|42576172] (which is probably my favorite Sarah Dessen book so far). Don't get me wrong, it was still relatively good and I read it very quickly, but these books definitely have gotten better over time.
2.9/5

Good light read. Girl figuring out what love is. Her best friend is pregnant and they are trying to survive high school.

Too teen angsty for me. I probably would have liked this when I was younger. I’m glad Halley came to her senses at the end!

Honestly this book was just very boring and entry level. I really loved Saint anything so I thought I’d read more of her stuff but it was really bland. Like it’s a book but that’s about it.

I enjoyed the story. This is my third Sarah Dessen book and it was good. I thought the story was good, but some characters were not as developed as other characters. I enjoyed reading the different POVs in the book. I was getting to know each character better in their perspective of how they think and feel. The ending was good and it redeemed the book for me.
