Normally I think Kristan Higgins romances are cute, featuring an adorable love interest, but with a highly irritating female protagonist who engages in embarrassing behavior and/or doesnt know when to shut it. Which is probably why I enjoyed SOMEBODY LIKE YOU as much as I did: theres no cringe-worthy word vomit! Parker is a sensible, unspoiled, caring, actually desirable female! James is Thing One. (Okay, no, but seriously, Im always a little wary of a dual-narrative romance, but James is great in his caring and, well, his normalcy.) Higgins brings us back to the beloved oceanside Maine town of Gideons Cove, and we encounter endearing supporting characters both old and new. The wit and humor is as good as ever. With each book of hers, Higgins moves more and more away from her old formula for romance to explore refreshing new situations and characters. Loved it! Cant wait for more.
