You know those books that just stick with you? The kind that is beautiful in its complexity and yet its simplicity. The kind that the characters reach through the pages and twine themselves around your heart. That book is Somebody Like You.
From the first page to the last, Halley and Steven wound their way around my heart with their emotions, their struggles and their heart. Steven is one of those heroes that every girl wants to sigh over and prays will walk into her life. My heart yearned to patch his in the rift that has ripped through his and his twin brothers relationship.
And Haley. I dont even know how to describe her. The book does such a better job than my words ever will. There is a complex layer of emotions protecting her-but they are flimsy at best and a shallow shell that only leaves her feeling more lost. There is such a fine balance to walk in this book: can a widow fall in love with her husbands mirror twin brother?
I have to be honest: I wasnt sure it could be done. Without feeling rushed. Without feeling as though Haley was betraying her first husband, Sam. I think you can look at my star rating and see that I thought this novel is a success. Beyond a success. A beautiful mosaic of love, forgiveness and second chances and yetso much more.
Highly recommended. Highly.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publisher for my copy to influence.
