I am astounded at how much I didn't like this Dessen book. I think the other one that brought out similar feelings in me was "This Lullaby". "This Summer" is about 15 year old Haven dealing with the upheaval in her life over the course of a summer. It's also about her looking back with rose color...

From Goodreads: For fifteen-year-old Haven, life is changing too quickly. She's nearly six feet tall, her father is getting remarried, and her sister—the always perfect Ashley—is planning a wedding of her own. Haven wishes things could just go back to the way they were. Then an old boyfriend of Ashl...

Na 'Just Listen' keek ik al weer uit om weer een boek van Sarah Dessen te lezen, maar wat een teleurstelling was dit boek.Ik heb me doodverveeld tijdens het lezen. Het is alleen maar gezeik van de hoofdpersoon, die zit met de scheiding van haar ouders, de bruiloft van haar zus, haar lengte *huil, hu...

I absolutely adored this book. Haven was just a wonderful character and I could totally see why she did what she did. I think in her place I would have done the same. Your dad remarries, you find out his new wife has been pregnant for a while, your sister is psychotic about her wedding, your best fr...

This is Sarah Dessen’s very first ever book, and I’m afraid to say that it’s my least favorite as well. Protagonist Haven is a big reason I am not a fan of this book. If you’ve read this book at all, then you probably know that Haven is tall. Why is this such a memorable trait? Because she brings ...

Sarah Dessen done it again. She is like my favorite authors ever since I pick her books and start reading it. This book is really amazing and kind of shocking that I could hardly believe while I was reading it. For a second there I thought maybe Sumner was a nice guy, but I knew he was too good to b...

I really have no words, I did not like this book. This was my first Sarah Dessen book, and I wished I started with another one. I honestly didn't think this book was all that good. It did connect in any way. As I said, I have no words.

While I very much enjoyed Just Listen, my first Sarah Dessen book, That Summer did not really impress me as much. However, I do realize that this is Dessen's first book, so it is to be expected that her work would improve over time.Thankfully, Dessen's writing has improved vastly since That Summer. ...
