Dreamland by Sarah Dessen is about a girl who gets caught up in all the wrong people, places, time and things. After her older sister leaves, Caitlyn takes on the responsibility of being "the golden daughter", trying to become the apple of her parents' lives. Everything is good for a while. Until ...
So this was a short book to get through (only 260 pages) but it left a big impact. I thought at first that things moved a bit slow, but once you get to the meat of the story, you won't be able to put this down at all. You are going to just be shocked and dismayed at the things that are going on with...
Pre-read: Yeah, I'm re-reading this book for this year because apparently I'm on a Sarah Dessen kick from my library. I'm really looking forward to it.Post-read: Dude, I'm still shaking even after I've turned the final page. Much of "Dreamland" hit spot on with respect to the feelings of isolation t...
My fifth brush with Sarah Dessen’s books hasn’t gone as well as the previous four books of hers that I read. I was mainly interested in this book because it looks at an abusive relationship, something you might often see in YA but one that doesn’t get called out as such (I haven’t read Hush, Hush,...
Dreamland..... Another pretty good book by Sarah Dessen. Caitlin O'Koren felt lost and alone after her sister, Cassandra, ran away from home. Then she meets Rogerson Biscoe. Rogerson is your typical drug dealing bad boy. At first, the relationship is a good one. But Rogerson introduces Caitlin to dr...
I cried reading this book. This is the 1st time I cried reading a book since I read The Book Thief.The emotion, it feels so raw it HURTS.Read this, but mind you, it might make you cry. "I was drowning in broad daylight and no one could tell."
Hmmm, Dreamland.I don't know how I feel about this book exactly. I didnt hate it. I didnt love it. It was just ok. I think the story line is halfway good. I didnt like ANY of the characters. I didnt like how her behavior didnt seem weird to anyone. I mean she had all the classic signs. SOMEONE shoul...
Sarah Dessen has done it again. While Dreamland was certainly not my favorite of her books that I've read so far, I can appreciate why she is so popular with teens (and even those of us who are no longer teens) today. She has a knack for making you believe that you could be reading about people you ...
This book really only took me three hours to blast through. Now as I'm reading through some other reviews on Goodreads, I'm seeing that this is one of Sarah Dessen's darker books. I'm not sure how I feel about that, as I feel like this reads very similarly to a lot of young adult that I've read in...
Original Review posted on Bookwyrming ThoughtsOriginal Rating: 1.5Note: Formatting may be lost due to copy and pasting. I was told that Sarah Dessen's works were awesome. So I basically went into the frame of mind that it would be a good book when I actually started reading it. I don't reall...
