It ended fast. But the problem (rape) is better described than in other books called “Speak”.
There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying
Dessen does it again: making me connect and feel things for characters I have nothing in common with.
This was my first Sarah Dessen book and I promise you, will not be the last.
I don't have much to say about this partly, because I waited too long to write the review :/ So, I'll make this review quick.
I loved everything about it. The characters are flawed and unique and feel so real. I was able to connect to them and it made me that much more invested in the book. I swear I read this in one sitting. I didn't want to put it down, which doesn't happen to me with contemporary very often.
So real, so gripping, yet fun– I smiled a few times, but I also flat-out cried: a few tears streamed down my face throughout the whole ending from sadness to happiness.
If you haven't read this book and you like contemporary, get on it! This is one I will be recommending to others.
This was good...
I'm a bit torn, it wasn't a bad book, but i'm not sure if I would recommend it to read...
There wasn't anything in specific wrong or off, it just wasn't my favorite...
Love Owen though...
I love a book driven by strong characters and Sarah Dessen never fails to deliver in that respect.
Her characters are so real, you find yourself falling into their lives, into the pages.
