"The ALA best book for young adults, Someone Like You, by the New York Times Best Selling Author, Sarah Dessen, is about a highschool girl, Halley, dealing with love, death, peer pressure, and just about anything else you could think of. Halley, who is usually the quiet one, learns to step up and become herself. She has to determine if loosing her awesome relationship with her mom is worth loosing it to some guy she met that claims loves her.
I think this book is aimed toward middle and highschool transion students. This book was a great guide to how I could handle different situations. Someone Like You was comforting knowing that I have been through many of the scnarieos taht Halley has been through. I would recomend this to any of my friends around my age. I'd give it "2 thumbs up!""

"“Someone Like You” is a story of the bond of friendship and how important that is, especially in the lives of teenage girls. There is a time in every girl’s life when she begins to pull away from her mother and turns to friends for that guidance and acceptance. Sarah Dessen really understands the pressures of being a teenager including school, jobs, peer pressure and home life. This is a story any teenage girl will be able to relate to."
