Answer 1

I would give it an 8.

It was a really good book, but like the other answerer said, it kind of left you hanging at the end. If you haven't read it you really should because it was pretty good. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that there were points in the book where Halley (the main character) was making some really bad choices and I just wanted to scream at her (but of course I couldn't b/c it's a book).

It was a very good book, and if I'm correct I think that they used two of Sarah Dessen's books (including this one) to make a movie with Mandy Moore in it. I think that it was called How To Deal.

If you liked this book, you should read some of her other books. (That Summer, Dreamland, Just Listen, Keeping the Moon, The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby. (there are more, I just can't remember them all.) All of the books generally have a lot of the same characteristics (the main character has a mother that doesn't really listen to her, in the end the main character grows as a person, the main character finds love where she least expects it etc.) Sarah Dessen is a great author, so I hope that you try to read some of her other books, especially if you like Someone Like You.

Answer 2

It's actually one of my all time favorite books. I LOVED it.

I thought it was really good, yes, although parts of it left me kind of wondering why. I kind of felt as if she didn't answer all of the questions that she left the readers with, which i guess isn't bad. I think it's because I think she should have included an Epilogue. Other than that, it's a really great read. The begining is kind of slow though. Wait it out because it does get really, really good =]
