One frozen embryo. Two families with life-long secrets. And a guy who never planned to fall in love again.
Maddie Baxter West is shaken to the core when she finds out everything she believed about her life was a lie. Her parents had always planned to tell her the truth about her past: that she was adopted as an embryo. But somehow the right moment never happened. Then a total stranger confronts Maddie with the truth and tells her something else that rocks her world—Maddie had a sister she never knew about. Betrayed, angry, and confused, Maddie leaves her new job and fiancé, rejects her family’s requests for forgiveness, and moves to Portland to find out who she really is.
Dawson Gage’s life was destroyed when London Quinn, his best friend and the only girl he ever loved, is killed. In the hospital waiting room, London’s mother reveals that London might have had a sibling. The frozen embryo she and her husband donated decades ago. When Dawson finds Maddie and brings her to Portland, the Quinns—her biological parents—welcome her into their lives and hearts. Maddie is comforted by the Quinns’ love and intrigued by their memories of London, who was so much like her. Is this the family and the life she was really meant to have?
Now it will take the love of Dawson Gage to help Maddie know who she is...and to help her find her way home.

First, I want to thank the Buffalo Erie County Library for providing me with this book so I may give you this review.
WOW!!! OMG after my binge watching obsession with Karen Kingsbury’s The Baxter’s on Prime I knew I needed to read her books! After seeing a preview of Someone Like You during The Baxters I rushed out to the library to get the book (and a few others of hers). Now I really need to see this movie!! The book was so good!!
Let’s talk about the beautiful and meaningful cover of Someone Like You. It was so perfect!
Now, if you are like me and saw The Baxter’s on Prime you will recognize some of the characters in the book. When reading their names I could picture the actors/actresses that played in the series. Plus, I got updated on some characters too which was nice.
If you are not familiar with Karen’s books they are all sweet faith based.
Now warning you are going to want to stock up on tissues for this book! This was a very emotional read for me! Yes, I admit I cried like a baby!
I absolutely loved how deeply passionate Maddie was about her love for animals and her career endeavors around this! You could not help not smile ear to ear on how animated she was! Needless to say I was incredibly happy for her!
My Niece is named London so I had a soft spot for this character. That be said my heart leapt out of my chest and I totally gasped at the tragic accident!! Never could you imagine that happening.
The twist in this story is very unique and unlike any other that I have read! There were a lot of secrets that had been kept and shocking revelations as well.
Karen writes about some very important topics and life lessons in Someone Like You. Infact, she has some discussion questions in the back of the book that would be great for the book club.
What an honor for Karen’s true fan’s to be listed in the back of her book. They truly are the lucky ones!
Karen Kingsbury’s Someone Like You deserves more than 5 stars!! Now I must read more of her books and definitely see this movie!!
