This book is incredible. When I read the first few pages about Michael, her boyfriend, dying, that was really sad and I cried. I couldn't put it down. It was a bit depressing, but at the same time it talked about something that happens often, a girl in high school gets pregnant. Therefore, it was well written to make me cry. I went through many emotions while reading this book.
Someone Like You was a great book. I really liked it because it was about the crazy teenage life of two girls. The book had everything from first love to teen pregnancy. But no matter how many trials the girls go through they find friendship helps them get through it, all.
In "Someone Like You" Scarlett is discovered to be pregnant with her dead boyfriend's baby. We all depend on someone. She needs Halley, her best friend, more than ever, but Halley is having trouble since she was always the one who needed help, not the one who provided it. What does it mean to have a true friend. Are they just.there. But if it's Scarlett, she will do anything. "Someone Like You" teaches the true value of friendship and what it means to be a true friend to someone.
The many dynamics that are looked at, boyfriend/girlfriend, best friends, mother/daughter, etc. My daughter and I decided to read this book at the same time so we could talk about it as we went. Initially I was not that in to it, but by chapter 4, I was equally as engrossed as she. were all well related and showed good development. The book speaks of love, loyalty, and truth in a way that both of us found interesting and kept us reading.
The beginning of the book was awesome. It had me up until like 3:00 a.m. reading.But then at the end, when Halley didn't take Macon back, it deeply dissapointed me. I didnt finish the end of the book because it seemed boring without them together.
