The ALA best book for young adults, Someone Like You, by the New York Times Best Selling Author, Sarah Dessen, is about a highschool girl, Halley, dealing with love, death, peer pressure, and just about anything else you could think of. Halley, who is usually the quiet one, learns to step up and become herself. She has to determine if loosing her awesome relationship with her mom is worth loosing it to some guy she met that claims loves her.
I think this book is aimed toward middle and highschool transion students. This book was a great guide to how I could handle different situations. Someone Like You was comforting knowing that I have been through many of the scnarieos taht Halley has been through. I would recomend this to any of my friends around my age. I'd give it "2 thumbs up!"

“Someone Like You” is a story of the bond of friendship and how important that is, especially in the lives of teenage girls. There is a time in every girl’s life when she begins to pull away from her mother and turns to friends for that guidance and acceptance. Sarah Dessen really understands the pressures of being a teenager including school, jobs, peer pressure and home life. This is a story any teenage girl will be able to relate to.

About More Than Words Inc.
More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.
