About this Book
Can a young widow find love again with her husband’s reflection?
Haley’s three-year marriage to Sam, an army medic, ends tragically when he’s killed in Afghanistan. Her attempts to create a new life for herself are ambushed when she arrives home one evening—and finds her husband waiting for her. Did the military make an unimaginable mistake when they told her Sam was killed?
Too late to make things right with his estranged twin brother, Stephen discovers Sam never told Haley about him. As Haley and Stephen navigate their fragile relationship, they are inexorably drawn to each other. How can they honor the memory of a man whose death brought them together—and whose ghost could drive them apart?
Somebody Like You is a beautifully rendered, affecting novel, reminding us that while we can’t change the past, we have the choice to change the future and start anew.

My Review
When I read about this book I thought it was an interesting and unique story. The author did not disappoint me. I also expected this to be an emotionally charge story. Which it was, but not in the way I anticipated.
First the characters, Haley and Stephen were excellent. Haley was a girl after my own heart, in that she was a tomboy rather than a girlie girl. She was comfortable with who she was and made no apologies. Stephen, was a gentle soul, yet strong in character. And both carried a burden beyond the grief of their husband and brother.
The story was engaging from the beginning until the end. There were times when I laughed at the exchanges between Haley and Stephen. There were other times when my heart broke for the characters.
This was a touching story and I saw a maturity in the author’s writing from the previous book I had read. I look forward to more from her.
