Just Listen
By: Sarah Dessen
As i begin a new book, I find myself to be very much like the main character, Annabelle who faces many challenges in life. I really think this book will be a great read because the problems she face are very realistic and realteable to. Annabelle Greene is the girl who has everything. At least, that's what she portrays in her modeling shoots. But Annabelle's life is far from perfect. Her friendship with Sophie ended bitterly, and her older sister's eating disorder is weighing down the entire family. Isolated and ostracized at school and at home, Annabelle retreats into silent acceptance, Then she meets Owen - intense, music-obsessed, and determined to always tell the truth. And with his guidance, Annabelle learns to just listen to herself and gain the courage to speak honestly. She will be able to tell everyone what really happened the night her and Sophia stopped being friends. It was a horrible night and I believe that this book will do a great job of teaching teens how to let their voice be heard when things that are wrong happen to them, since sometimes it can be very dangerous and harmful things that are happening to them and the situations are very difficult to get out of. I am really looking forward to this book and I feel it will be very life like.
