Somebody Like You Beth K. Vogt



What's the book about:

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 thoughts on the book:
This book is amazing, I had a hard time wanting to put it down and actually get some housework done....lol! This book is about loss and love and healing. Where two people have fallen in love and then Haley looses the love of her life to an on going war in Afghanistan. Why she lives with they guilt of a secret she kept from him in hopes to tell him face to face. When she is brought face to face with Sam her husbands past and she doesn't know what to do but push and try to out run her guilt and try not to get to close to her husband past.
Stephen in living his "perfect" life and he get a call saying his mirror image twin brother has been killed in Afghanistan. Now he has to find the brother he lost touch with when they were 13 and he doesn't know where to begin until he find outs that his brother was married and they lived a short 2 hours from him. So off he goes little does he know by trying to find out about the years he loss is going to put him on a journey he never thought he would be on.
While both Haley and Stephen try to find healing and forgiveness from the guilt they work hard and trying not to forget to live in the present. I don't want to give to much away I can say that this book with get to the heart of the matter, my emotions were drug through the ringer with this little story between the heartbreak of Haley and losing Sam, then Stephen’s guilt and sadness over never making amends with his mirror twin. I will say that this is a book you will not want to miss out on and you will want to add to your personal library for sure.
