While the pacing of the story is generally well-executed, there are moments when it feels a bit slow. Some readers might find themselves yearning for more action and suspense to keep them engaged. However, the depth and emotional resonance of the characters' journeys make up for any lulls in the plot. Ultimately, "Someone Like You" is a beautiful and poignant tale of love, healing, and personal redemption. James W. Foley's expert storytelling, compelling characters, and heartfelt exploration of profound themes make this book a worthwhile read for fans of contemporary fiction.
