Someone Just Like You by Meredith Schorr

4.0

Jude Stark and Molly Blum are childhood friends turned lifelong enemies, living a life of oneupmanship, long after moving away from their respective childhood homes. Their families, however, have remained close- Molly and Jude occasionally forced to deal with each other as a result.

So when their older siblings gather both families offspring together, neither is too pleased. But their displeasure is multiplied tenfold when Jude and Molly are assigned the task of finding the perfect venue for a twin anniversary surprise for their parents…together.

Instinctively, the pair revert to old habits- pranking and undermining one another at every turn. Once they finally call a cease fire, the two begin to see more in each other than they care to admit. As they work together, they take note of each’s shortcomings in work, and in play. Still, it just might take dating each other’s doppelgängers, and dismantling their own career expectations, to determine what they were looking in life, and in love, was right there all along.

Someone Just Like You is a great, summer romcom. I adored the banter between Jude and Molly, slightly swooning at the reveal Jude’s middle name was Desmond.
