Product Details


Product Description

Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

Finally, a women's novel where the women don't spend the whole book thinking about men.


Book Description

Cathy Kelly has enjoyed unprecedented success in the UK and her native Ireland. Building on the popularity of her "Dear Cathy" advice column, Kelly brings to her fiction a warmth and humor that speaks to women everywhere.

Hannah, Emma, and Leonie, three women at critical turning points in their lives, meet on holiday and find themselves changing in unexpected ways. Hannah, young, beautiful and reeling from the betrayal of a lover, decides to throw herself into her career and embrace the single life. Emma, married for two years and hoping to start a family, constantly questions her ability to be a parent, while still allowing her own parents to interfere in her life. Leonie, generously proportioned and equally big-hearted, wonders if she'll ever find love with three teenage children in tow.

Someone Like You is a celebration of life and friendship, firmly establishing Cathy Kelly as a captivating new voice in contemporary women's fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, Feb 6 2004
By "megs1234" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
What was so wonderful about this book, aside from the basics: great plot, great characters, great development, were the characters themselves. There are three main characters in this book and I loved all three equally.

Cathy Kelly did a wonderful job of letting the reader see each of these very different women as who they were, and yet also let us see how such different women could form such a strong friendship and bond.

The pace of this book was very well done. Many authors skim over details and only focus on the big things...but not so with this novel. Cathy Kelly took her time, while all the while not creating a slow-read.

Great writing!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Jun 23 2003
By Jeannette (Mechanicsville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This was definitely one of the best books I have read. I love that not only are you reading about the stories of these three amazing women, but you are reading about the lives of the characters sorrounding them. I cannot wait for another of her books.

3.0 out of 5 stars No surprise here, Jun 20 2003
By J. Kreuser (Green Bay, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After the introduction of the three main characters and a few chapters into the book, if you could not figure out how it would end, you have certainly never read a book before! The book was too predictable. It did hold my interest and I did read it to the end, but I like books where the ending is a little more of a surprise. Cathy Kelly is no maeve Binchy!
