Someone Just Like You by Meredith Schorr
2.0
What I liked:
-The premise is unique - the two MCs, Molly and Jude, grew up across the street from each other and were best friends until age 6, when they started a prank war that continued to escalate throughout high school and never resolved. In the story, they’re thrown together to plan a joint anniversary party for their parents, who are still neighbors and best friends
-NYC plays a big role in the story and the author does a fantastic job of bringing the reader right onto the streets of New York.
What didn’t work for me:
-I didn’t buy the HEA (cringe). Molly and Jude have been enemies forever, and even after getting to know each other more, realize they aren’t compatible. Nevertheless, they decide “love is enough” and ride off into the sunset. Like, no it’s not. These two are going to be divorced in a few years. This is hard to get past in a romance novel...
Thank you to NetGalley, Forever, and the author for the gifted copy.
