Read my full review at The Book Bee**3 Stars**Expectations were shattered by this surprisingly thoughtful novel. A relatable protagonist, vivid characters, a few interesting subplots, and a light romance. Though my curiosity for Dessen's novels has been satisfied and I won't be seeking out others, t...
So I read this a few months ago, but only just now decided what I wanted to say about this book.So, this gets three stars, which means I didn't have any strong feelings about it. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. And the main reason for this was because I didn't particularly like Annabel or Owen. What...
I was starting to worry that I had already read all the Sarah Dessen books that I would really love from her, but this book luckily turned the recent tide of alright-but-not-amazing books from her (and when I say that, I don’t necessarily mean her most recent books, just the ones I’ve read most rece...
I didn't think I could read this so fast, considering my hectic schedule lately, but I just couldn't put it down. Just Listen more than a YA book, is a book that makes you think on many things: family relationships, honesty vs white lies, keeping it all hidden or waving it in the open... An endless ...
2.5 stars.Nope, this story didn't work out for me. Think this will be the last of Sarah Dessen's work I'd be reading. I'm sick and tired with her same, formulaic stories to be honest.
As for me, I fell somewhere between my sisters and their strong personalities, the very personification of the vast grey area that separated them. I was not bold and outspoken, not silent and calculating. I had no idea how anyone would describe me, or what would come to mind at the sound of my name....
A long time ago, when I first started reading Dessen, someone (I don’t remember who) told me that because of my “content” parameters, I shouldn’t read Just Listen. Whoever it was, I listened to them and blacklisted this book for the longest time. But I heard so many good things about it, and conside...
3.5 starsjust random thoughts - loved Owen, some things (placeholder, I know) reminded me of Speak, overall reading this was a good experience, some parts made me really sad, some made me laugh out loud, solid Sarah Dessen book.
Don't think, or judge. Just listen.How many of us can relate to Annabel? Avoids conflict. Tells everyone she's fine, but inside she's hurting...bad. Just wants to keep the peace and doesn't want to hurt feelings so she avoids telling her real feelings.I know I can. At some point though I decided...
