I enjoyed reading this book like the first Cathy Kelly book. She'll continue to be an author who's books I am excited to read! Lucky, since I bought about 4 more!

I liked Leonie's character. I felt like she was the most real and non-phony and she was also just an overall nice person.

I didn't like Hannah's character at all. As much as she thought she was being this independent person, she kept putting herself in situations that made her completely the opposite. I just couldn't believe some of the things she did.

Emma's character was good and I could relate to her in her inability to stand up to people b/c it's "not nice to be angry." But in the end, she stood up for herself saying exactly what I told myself this year "You can't talk to me like that." I didn't like how she could not be happy for Hannah when she was pregnant though. I know how awful it is to see other people always have something that you've wanted a long time but you can't be rude to people. You just have to suck it up and take it for the time that you can. And THEN go home and cry.

On the other hand, Hannah was very insensitive to Emma when she first got pregnant. ( )

It was a wonderfully romantic book without being overly sloppy! A great story of three women friends to help each other over life's big & little obstacles ( )

A nice book. It is a bit like Marian Keyes, only I prefer Marian Keyes. The story is about three women who meet on vacation and build up a friendship. They all have their own personal problems and help each other to solve them. ( )

think I would've liked this one better if the author had consistently kept the friendships between the three women going instead of having them each do their own thing. I enjoyed it, but it took me forever to finish. I really liked the beginning, but my interest started to wane somewhere towards the middle/end. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452283388, Paperback)

Cathy Kelly has enjoyed unprecedented success in the UK and her native Ireland. Building on the popularity of her "Dear Cathy" advice column, Kelly brings to her fiction a warmth and humor that speaks to women everywhere.

Hannah, Emma, and Leonie, three women at critical turning points in their lives, meet on holiday and find themselves changing in unexpected ways. Hannah, young, beautiful and reeling from the betrayal of a lover, decides to throw herself into her career and embrace the single life. Emma, married for two years and hoping to start a family, constantly questions her ability to be a parent, while still allowing her own parents to interfere in her life. Leonie, generously proportioned and equally big-hearted, wonders if she'll ever find love with three teenage children in tow.

Someone Like You is a celebration of life and friendship, firmly establishing Cathy Kelly as a captivating new voice in contemporary women's fiction.
