For Tomorrowland 34, I read Saint Anything because it is a YA book. This was my first book by Dessen - I've been seeing a lot of her books pop up on OB's feed, and I've been meaning to try her out for a while. It turned out that I owned this book, so I decided to read it, and while I had some issues...
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars and rounded it up to 4 stars here.I really enjoyed "Saint Anything" by Sarah Dessen, but not as much as I did "Lock and Key." The biggest issue I really had with this book was the fact that Sydney's mother and father were 100 percent ridiculous. And them n...
Let me preface this by saying that this isn't necessarily my genre of choice I thought I'd try something new(ish) so I might be off a bit with the review and subsequently my rating. That being said, Saint Anything was my first introduction to Sarah Dessen. Man she knows how to create a character tha...
For me, this is a great book about seeing things from others' perspectives. It's also a look into growing up and the pressures of society and family. I really appreciate how realistic it is. Most everyone can identify with at least some point within. I found myself angry at the situations Sydne...
This is actually the first Sarah Dessen book I’ve ever read, and I thought it was fantastic. Dessen takes on some big issues, including a great depiction of girls watching out for each other around a creepy guy, while at the same time writing a satisfying romance. Sydney’s journey is wonderfully wri...
Can I just start out by stating how amazing Sarah Dessen is? All of her books are extremely good with not just talking about the love story, but also family, friends, and the main character discovering herself. This is the second book of hers that I have read and it is definitely not the last! Cha...
Saint Anything shows yet again how worthy Sarah Dessen is of the mastery of Young Adult contemporary fiction. She has an uncanny ability to fill a story with a great cast of characters, while creating a connection between the reader and the characters that last long after the book is put down.In thi...
Sydney has always felt invisible. She's grown accustomed to her brother, Peyton, being the focus of the family’s attention and, lately, concern. Peyton is handsome and charismatic, but seems bent on self-destruction. Now, after a drunk-driving accident that crippled a boy, Peyton’s serving some seri...
Quick review for a progressive read, since I read the audiobook narration by Taylor Meskimen (who did a fantastic job with Sydney's narrative voice and infusing emotion into the novel overall).This is the first title I've read from Sarah Dessen in a while, so this read came across to me like I'm rea...
I guess my main issue with this book is that I honestly felt like I've read it before. No one could ever mistake a Sarah Dessen book for something else; all her books are so similar in writing and characters and story and pacing. You've got your main character, usually a little shy or had something ...
