Before I Die
By: Sarah Dessen
In this part of the book, Annabelle and her sisters begin taking up modeling up again which has been a great family past time. Once Kristen started getting regular work, Whitney wanted to try it as well, and soon they were both making the rounds, often even going up for the same jobs, which only added to the natural friction between them. Their looks, though, were distinct and different as their temperaments. Whitney was the beauty, with the perfect bone structure and haunting eyes, while Kristen was somehow able to convey her bubbly personality with just one look. Whitney did better in print, but Kristen popped on screen. And so on. Because of this, Annabelle was well known at the local circuit, which consisted of mostly print ads for department stores and regionally cast and shot for commercials. While her dad chose to take a hands-off approach to them working- as he did to everything even vaguely girly, from Tampax to broken hearts- her mother thrived on it. She loved ferrying them to jobs, which I believe is a quality most moms don't have anymore. Annabelle and her sisters are lucky to have a mom that is so intrested in their lives, and even though they may not realize it, they are so fortunate. This relates to many girls this generation who have lost touch, or closeness with their mothers.
