BOOK REVIEW: SOMEONE LIKE YOU BY SARAH DESSEN


Thanks to ebook 10000+ application, I was able to feed my boredom by being a bookworm. I like to read. I like reading aloud since God knows when. This might have been the reason why i feel confident reading and speaking in front of many people. Anyhoos. This would be a book review or how i found the book I just finished reading which is Sarah Dessen's,  Someone like you.


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. Sarah Dessen’s poignant, funny voice has earned her raves and legions of teenaged fans.

There are times that we get blinded by our feelings. We get mad just because we think people don't understand what we're going through. We mistakenly call it 'JUDGING' when in fact they're just stating what they see, that they're just being honest. When we love, we forget how to think, How to use the head and the heart at the same time, cause we're just focusing on what we feel which is wrong. Sometimes we don't hold on to things just because it feels so right and sometimes we need to learn to listen before we react. This book  revolves around LOVE. Love from the opposite sex, from a bestfriend, and from parents. I guess teenagers should read this. Believe me, this is exactly what you guys are feeling right now, because this is what i felt years ago. ;)
