This book was really pleasant to read! It approaches many interesting subjects that could be helpful for a lot of teenagers (and not only teenagers). It is so simple yet so true and full of important lessons. I strongly recommend this book. It's the story of Ruby, a teenager who lives on her own a...
Initial reaction: I really enjoyed this story by Sarah Dessen (and ended up buying it on a spontaneous trip to Barnes and Noble). The key metaphor throughout the book really resonated with me and I enjoyed reading the narrative through Ruby's voice. Though I'd probably give this book 3.5 stars overa...
What can I really say. I loved this book to pieces. It's been a while since I can say that a book was picture perfect from beginning to end, but I really did find this book worked great. I had no issues with the writing, dialogue, plot, setting or pacing. I went and borrowed a ton of other Sarah Des...
This book took me through such an emotional roller coaster it should be illegal! Such in-depth subject with beautiful writing and amazing storyline.4.5 Stars
From another author, I'd probably give this five stars. But Dessen has written so many marvelous books, that this one doesn't seem outstanding. It's a great read, but not one that I imagine I'll come back to.Library copy

Ruby hasn't seen Cora in 10 years, a fact she blames on her sister. Now Cora has a huge house, a rich husband (th...
Bags under my eyes, but I could not stop reading. This novel was definitely powerful and I could relate on a few levels to how Cora and Ruby felt. Poor Nate...his parents are assholes! Heather was sweet and Olivia was a joy. Family was definitely the key and theme in this novel and I must say -- it ...
After reading Dreamland earlier this year, it’s surprising that I was able to pick up another Sarah Dessen book so quickly without at least a pause, but thankfully it does not seem that Dreamland left any lasting damage on my psyche and I look forward to reading many more Dessen books in the near fu...
Dessen's writing never disappoints. I found this one a little more tough to read, simply because the subject matter was so difficult. There are a lot of hard things going on in this book, but a lot of lovely things come out of them, too. Dessen's good that way. This wasn't my favorite of hers, but i...
