“Scarlett Thomas has been my best friend for as long as I can remember…”
Halley and Scarlett were best friends from day one. Together they made a perfect pair, Halley was the shy quiet one and Scarlett was the braver more outgoing one. Scarlett had always been there to pick up the pieces for Halley…but things changed drastically when Scarlett’s boyfriend dies in a motorcycle accident. Halley drops everything and leaves that stupid sisterhood camp her mother made her go to. You’d think things couldn’t possibly get worse and then Scarlett gets some very shocking news…
Sarah Dessen’s Someone Like You is about a strong bond between two friends and it’s also about letting go of the past. Sarah Dessen is my favorite author. It’s not just a story. There’s something to learn from it. She writes specifically for teenage girls.
