ARC Review: *Someone Like You* by Sandy Barker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars)

*Someone Like You* by Sandy Barker is the ultimate best-friends-to-lovers romcom, filled with laugh-out-loud moments, sweet festive vibes, and a love story that’ll make your heart swoon. If you’re a fan of slow-burn romance and irresistible chemistry, this book is for you!

Gaby and Raff are the quintessential best friends—inseparable, perfectly in sync, and able to finish each other’s sentences. They’ve always been there for each other, through Raff’s messy relationships and Gaby’s solid support. But now, with Raff’s rise to fame as Britain’s Best Baker (yum!), Gaby’s decided he needs help in the love department. Enter: The Ever After Agency. With Gaby’s blessing, they’re about to find Raff his perfect match.

*Microtropes:* *Best Friends to Lovers*, *Matchmaking Mishaps*, *Unrequited Love Realization*, *Newfound Fame*, *Jealousy Spark*, *Culinary Romance*, *London Charm Meets Seattle Cool*, *Festive Feelings*, and *Slow Burn Sizzle*.

Everything seems to be going great until Gaby starts to feel those telltale pangs of jealousy watching Raff fall for someone else. And here’s where things get tricky: should she risk their long-standing friendship by confessing her true feelings, or watch Raff potentially fall for the wrong woman?

Sandy Barker does an incredible job balancing humor with heart in this festive romcom. The banter between Gaby and Raff is effortless, and their chemistry builds so naturally that you’ll find yourself rooting for them from the first page. Plus, the added element of baking—a little sugar and spice in the form of mouthwatering desserts—is the cherry on top of this delicious love story.

Set against the cozy backdrops of London and Seattle, *Someone Like You* captures the magic of falling in love with your best friend, all while navigating the complications of fame, jealousy, and that terrifying leap from friends to something more.

If you love romantic comedies with lots of heart, some culinary flair, and a festive twist, then you’ll fall head over heels for *Someone Like You*. Sandy Barker’s writing is delightful and her characters are as lovable as they come. It’s the perfect recipe for a holiday read that will leave you with all the warm, fuzzy feelings. 🎄🍰💖

Highly recommended for fans of Emily Henry, Lindsey Kelk, and Mhairi McFarlane!
