This was a much better book than I expected. The way it handled serious issues was careful and deliberate. Trigger warnings for rape and sexual assault. Given the description on the book page, I wasn't really prepared for what I found in this book. As mentioned above, the issues were handled with gr...
This is my very first Sarah Dessen.I held off for a specific reason, that her writing would be too light for me. It's hard because I know this book covered some pretty serious topics, like Anger Control, Sexual Assault, and Anorexia... I just don't think that it covered those topics in a way that fe...
One of my very favorite teen books. There's just so much to like here, and it's so much more complex than it initially seems... My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
The feels have broken the flood gates. Clean up may take a while.Also, this book completely makes me feel good about my decisions to avoid parties and avoid alcohol. I'm really glad I made those choices in both my high school and college careers. Thank God I was a prude. Though I'm sure that's not w...

Her friendship with Sophie ended bitterly, and her older sister's eating disorder is weighing down the entire family. Isolated and ostracized at...
This was just utterly crap and boring. I am really sad, I was looking forward to this one. But I hated the characters, the overload of settings/problems.Annabel, dear Lord girl you need some backbone and you need to care for your friends more. Dropping Clarke like that, because of what someone says?...
I ended up warming a lot towards this book. Reason why I try not to give up on a book. People who liked the book "Speak" would like this one too, because it is about a girl who has been raped and tells no one and deals with it in silence. I did not know this book was about rape. That is why I was ...
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 oth...
