Ahh holy mol(l)y, I don't even know how to put all my thoughts into words for this book. Someone Just Like You (with a perfectly fitting title, I might add) is exactly why I love romance novels. The characters were so good and Jude and Molly were a delightful pairing. I loved that they were both Jewish and little pieces of that came up through out the story. There's a scene with matzo ball soup, so you know it has to be good. I also adored the childhood frenemies to lovers tropeā€”it was done beautifully. From prank wars to "hating" each other to dealing with family expectations, Schorr didn't miss. I also found myself relating to Molly and her life of people pleasing and planning, and once again felt incredibly seen while reading something from her. I thought this was funny and light while also managing to have serious conversations. Side note, I loved the golden doodles and all the doggos. This book truly feels like a hug and I loved it so so much. I'm a huge Meredith Schorr fan and I know this is only her second book, but I will happily read anything she writes. Thank you to Forever Publishing for sending me an arc to read and review!
