Someone Like You
Written by Sarah Dessen, it's actually the first book I read from her collection.I like the storyline so much! Well, I don't really go for teen high school drama stories, no.. I'm more into stuff like mysteries,crimes and thriller. But this is kinda fun!! hehe..The story simply centers on social life and friendship, which totally caught my eye on the book description before I borrowed it from my friend. So I'll give it a try since Beverly keep bugging me to read it. lol.
Book description :
Halley and Scarlett have been best friends for years, sharing secrets, clothes, and crushes. People know Scarlett as the popular, flamboyant one; Halley's just her quiet sidekick. Then, at the beginning of their junior year, the balance shifts. First, Scarlett's boyfriend Michael is killed in a freak accident; soon afterward, she learns that she is carrying his baby. For the first time, Scarlett really needs Halley. Their friendship may bend under the weight, but it'll never break--because a true friendship is a promise you keep forever.
My favorite part of the story would be the ending of course, as the ending is where we could finally smile and actually 'understand' the message of the author. And yes, Scarlett did kept the baby and named her Grace Halley Thomas and everyone turns up in the waiting room, all come together in happiness of the birth. After everything has calmed down and everyone has gone home, Halley starts the walk home alone, but happy, thinking about Grace Halley's life ahead and what she could offer her.
Life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend..
