I have been reading a lot of Sarah Dessen books the past couple of months. "Someone Like You" is Dessen's second book and maybe I should have been more careful to read these in order. I really did love this book. It is about two best friends (Halley and Scarlett) and them trying to get through their...

This book was okay. I liked how Dessen described teen pregnancy with al the struggles that come with it, no sugarcoating. Also that she sends a message to girls that you shouldnt be pressured in to anything you don't want.It was an easy and quick read, but overall the story wasn't memorable to me an...

Yet another Sarah Dessen book, this time one that focuses on friendship more than romance, at least according to the summary.

Dessen has an articulate, engaging voice, and so it's hard to put her books down. Even when the subject matter is difficult (OK--a dead classmate and a teenage pregnancy? It should be downright depressing), her characters are fully formed, complex, and lovely. They're people you want to know, and so...

After my wonderful premiere with the book [b:The Truth About Forever|51737|The Truth About Forever|Sarah Dessen|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1362767907s/51737.jpg|1032900] my expectations for this read were awfully high. I started to read this book with the idea that it would be as perfect as the pr...

I enjoy that Sarah Dessen's books are always an easy read, and provide a nice break from the books I generally read. I believe this is about the 6th of Dessen's books that I have read, and I have to admit they do all start to sound the same after awhile. Girl has a best friend, one of the two of the...

Definitely one of my favourite books by Sarah Dessen. It is refreshing to read a contemporary novel that isn't just about romance.
