I read Someone Like You a few years ago, and it always stuck with me. Hally's character was so real, the "good" girl who was just trying to experience her own life, and Scarlett, her strong willed pregnant best friend. It showed growing up in a light that wasn't scornful or biased or glossy - but as something that was confusing, flawed, and still altogther beautiful. Anybody who's going through it knows exactly what Hally is talking about when she talks about doing anything for Macon, being under her mother's thumb, and trying to fill in that outline of herself.This is one of my all time favorite books in the entire WORLD! I can relate some of what is happening to Halley to me, I love this about a book. There are so few books that are so true, captivating, lovable, and have romance. This is one of them. And I would recommend this book to anyone.
