Athena Freya's Reviews > Someone Like You: A Clean Romance

Someone Like You is a sweet novel about 2 characters who rediscovered themselves through their love.

It’s a pure romance novel with funny moments. Moreover, it features the consequences of war; consequences affecting the soldiers’ families and also consequences affecting the soldiers themselves.

It also speaks about how people view themselves. Kayleigh is a woman who has suffered from grief. A woman who takes care of everyone she loves. A woman who was betrayed and hurt by her fiancee. A woman who never really got to see her true self. A woman who only saw what her delusional arrogant asshole fiance saw. Niall suffers from survivors guilt and guilt in general. He doesn’t see himself as a hero or as a good man. He sees himself as a cruel, grumpy, anti-social man who has nothing to offer to anyone.

Kayleigh uses that betrayal to prove to everyone that she’s not weak and she can make it on her own! Niall’s wake up call is when he is really left alone. That’s when he realizes that he doesn’t want to be alone. He doesn’t deserve to be alone! They meet again after all those years, they fall in love with each other once more and they discover themselves. They rely on each other and they learn to see themselves as the other does.

It’s a really beautiful story, well written with wonderful characters.

The only reason why I don’t rate it with 5 stars is the lack of intensity. I wanted something stronger, a highlight of some sort. I honestly enjoyed the book very much, but it didn’t have that spicy something. It is a good book, just not an extraordinary.

So, 4 Gorgeous Stars go to Someone Like You!!!
