Format:Paperback
"Someone Like You" is a book about two best friends, Halley and Scarlett. When Scarlett finds out she is pregnant to Michael, he dies in a car accident. This book goes through the next nine months of Scarlett's pregnancy - of Halley getting involved with Michael's friend Macon, dilemmas in friendship and relationships and also family problems.
I found this book very good as I couldn't put it down and would recommend it. I found it the most interesting of all Dessen's books I have so far read ('This Lullaby' was probably 2nd!)

Personally I think this is one of the best novels ever written about the meaning of friendship and having someone to count on in any situation. While Halley is always there to give Scarlett courage and support during the different stages of her unwanted pregnancy, Scarlett helps Halley figure out her life while she is taking a walk on the wild side with her new boyfriend. I think Sarah Dessen did a wonderful job with this book as it is understandably written and a great book for all ages that can easily be read nonstop.

Ms. Dessens style is wonderful, all the characters seem real and alive. I definitely recommend this book. It was a good interpretation of how a 16 year old deals with life, and the things that are in it. I couldn't put it down until I finished it and found out what happened to Halley and her friends
