Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-18 00:00:00 Charles McLaughlin This was a nice and lovely book to spend a day with. I just needed some that went on a while that I could sink into. I think Kelly did a wonderful job with developing Hannah, Emma, and Leonie. And I loved the ups and downs the three of them had in their individual relationships as well. Things were not rushed and I guesstimate that from beginning to end this whole book followed the characters almost through 2 years. "Someone Like You" follows three women who are about to embark onto a week long cruise around Egypt. Hannah is an American transplant moving to Ireland to start working in a real estate business. She has had a year to get over her partner Harry dumping her and finally getting her sense of self back. She takes a trip to Egypt to celebrate her independence. Emma is being forced to go along on a week long trip with her parents without her lovely husband. Emma is used to going along to keep the peace, but starts to notice that something seems wrong with her mother. Leonie is at loose ends since her three kids at with her ex-husband in America for the summer. She decides a trip is just what she needs. All three women meet and become friends on the trip and then continue their friendship back home in Ireland. I honestly can't say which one I liked the most in this one. I liked them all for different reasons. For Leonie for being a strong woman who realized she didn't want to stay in a marriage where her husband felt like her brother and she thought they both deserved something better. For Emma for wanting a baby but being scared to find out if something is wrong. For Hannah for being so so terrible with regards to men (LOL!). I thought the three women together and individually were great. I wanted to cheer and yell and shout at all of them. Kelly really does a great job with making you feel as if you are just catching up with long time friends as you read. I loved the writing and the flow actually worked great in this one. I always worry when you have three characters is one of them going to get less time than the others. But in my eyes, I think Kelly managed to follow and develop all three of them equally. The ending for Hannah was the only one that I thought felt rushed. Emma and Leonie's stories ended perfectly for me.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-03-04 00:00:00 Leigh Shepherd I am SO glad to be done with this book. It was an alright book, I guess...I sorta liked the characters and truly wanted them to figure out the problems each of them was facing. BUT. BUT. So much of it was so ridiculous! Apparently you can take a pregnancy test HOURS after your condom breaks to find out if you are pregnant or not. Who knew? Ugh, anyway. It just irritated me, the whole book...so much wasn't believable and it just grated on me. Ugh.
