Book Review #1 by Makayla Freitas

Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen

In the book Halley (16 years old) and Scarlett (16 years old) have been friends forever. Scarlett has always been there for Halley if she is going through something, Scarlett always knew what to say or do. But everything in their life changed in their junior year in high school. Unfortunately Scarlett’s boyfriend, Michael (16 years old), was killed in a motorcycle accident; Scarlett then finds out that she is carrying his baby.  Now, Scarlett really needs Halley’s help. Halley now has to be strong for Scarlett because this is a serious thing, it won’t be easy for Halley but she can’t let Scarlett downs “because a true friend is a promise you keep forever”.

There are many things I like about this book. One is that this book is a cliff-hanger. Another thing I like about this book is that it has a lot of detail because I could picture the characters in my head really well. The things I didn’t like about the book was that it only talks about Michael when he died, I kind of wanted to know him before he died.

If you like books with cliff-hangers than you will love this book. I recommend this book for 16 years old and up because it’s a hard book for little kids to read and is a chapter book with 281 pages. If I would rate this book on a scale from 1-4, I would give it a 3.5. I think people should read it because it’s such a good book, I love it myself, this book probably would be #1 on my top chart because it was just so good.
