Someone Like You is a cutesy small-town romance akin to Safe Haven.
It was cute at times, and the romance, plot and characters were satisfying which is all I really look at when reviewing cute-romance books. Bullet - the dog is adorable, and I love him very much, but I'm a sucker for dogs.
I enjoyed the reading experience save for some issues where the POV would change mid-way through. I read a chapter via NetGalley and then finished the book via Kindle, and I found that at times the text was confused between third-person and first-person and which character was 'leading' the chapter. That being said it didn't ruin the experience for me; I just needed to double-check a few times when reading. I'm also not a fan of instant-love, and this was a very 'they-lock-eyes-and-love-is-immediate' book which I thought was odd given Hannah's background but also because I don't like instant-love as a trope.
Overall, I thought it was a pleasant, cute romance read.
Thanks to Netgalley, Team Harper Collins UK, and Rachel Dove as I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Someone Like You is released on September 21, 2022.
Book #178 of 2022.
