Outside reading

For this outside reading I want to do a summary on the book Someone Like You by Sara Dessen. Someone Like You is about two very different best friends Halley and Scarlettet. Scarlette is the more bold, daring and out going one while Halley is more shy and keeps to herself. But these girls seem to have a friendship that is stronger and more meaningful than most. When Scarlettes love ,Michael Sheerwood, is killed in a motorcycle accident and she finds out she is carrying his baby their friendship only grows stronger. Scarlettes mother was a teen mom too but she doesn't want the same life for her daughter so she kind of stays out of it. Halley had to learn how to go out of her confort zone to help Scarlette go through all the rough patches in her life. It seemed like it was very difficult for her but she did it cause of the love for her best friend. There is a quote on the back of the book that says " Life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend." Someone Like You does a good job displaying he meaning of that quote beacause Scarlettes life would have been twenty times harder if she didn't have a shoulder to cry on or someone to put a smile on her face. I believe that with friends by your side anything is possible and this book shows you just how true that is.
