Someone like you starts out with the death of Scarlet's boyfriend. Halley, Scarlett's best friend, is called back from camp to help Scarlett cope. Soon Scarlett finds out she is pregnant. While Halley starts dating the high school's bad boy. The year is filled with first experiences. This book is really good and it provides quite an interesting look at a teen aged girls first experience with sex. ( )

Best friends Halley (named after the comet) and Scarlett could not be closer--or more different. Scarlett has found herself pregnant after her boyfriend has died. Halley is finding herself in the throes of first love while dealing with Scarlett's pregnancy. At the same time, Halley is finding herself drawing away from her parents, her mother in particular, with whom she has had a deep connection with until not long ago. Halley and Scarlett both face difficult decisions including abortion, adoption, having sex, breaking rules, as well as having to face death. This story rings incredibly true on a number of levels including being a pregnant teen, death of a friend, and having a boyfriend whom you feel very strongly about, but who is unconventional in ways that you are not necessarily comfortable with, and you know your parents won't approve of.

Loved it. Very realistic friendship between two girls and how their relationship changes when one of the girls gets pregnant. ( )

I first read The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen and I really like the style and plot of her books. So when i read Someone Like You, I wasn't disappointed! Someone Like You tells the story of two best friends, Halley and Scarlett. It's about their journey to stick together, while Halley tries to help and support Scarlett because Scarlett is carrying her died boyfriends baby. Halley has to try and juggle supporting her pregnant best friend, while trying to hold her new relationship with Macon. ( )

sad but uplifting.
