Jude has been Molly’s nemesis for as long as she can remember. Growing up as neighbors should have made them close, but Jude thinks Molly is a goodie two shoes and Molly thinks Jude is a slacker whose sole purpose in life is to mess with her. After years of an all out prank war, they stopped contact after one practical joke went too far. Molly and Jude are forced together again when their siblings decide to plan a giant party for both sets of parents, and the pranks start anew. Forced to work together to plan the surprise party, the two develop a sort of begrudging friendship. But when they each show up to the party with dates that are essentially each others’ clones, Molly and Jude are forced to consider that the line between hate and love is much blurrier than they thought.
Thank you so much to @netgalley, @readforeverpub, and @meredithschorr for the advance copy! The cover of this book is the absolute cutest. I really liked the pranking between Jude and Molly—it kind of reminded me of Jim and Pam from The Office. Molly’s character was super relatable for me, and I really sympathized with her feeling stuck in her job and people pleasing tendencies. I think she and Jude brought out the best in each other! The dynamics with their families were also a great added layer. This was a fun read! Someone Just Like You releases July 25!
