Dessen, Sarah

Someone Like You

282 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-670-87778-6
(2) YA In this novel whose first person voice is remarkable for its authenticity, high school junior Halley tells of her first serious relationship, her ignorance over the details of sex, and her fascination with her best friend's pregnancy. Dessen has a unique talent for distilling character in a few biting words, and she uses her sharp sense of humor to make her points without mawkishness.
