Review

This was the first book by Sarah Dessen I ever read, and it only made me want to read more of her works. I felt like I could related to Annabel Greene in so many ways even though our lives and circumstances are completely different. The way the story is tied together with reoccurring themes and events felt so perfect yet natural that it was hard not be pulled in. Normally, I wonder if this feeling is a fluke, but I felt the same way about it the second time through as I did the first time.
Details
Last year, Annabel was "the girl who has everything"—at least that's the part she played in the television commercial for Kopf's Department Store.This year, she's the girl who has nothing: no best friend because mean-but-exciting Sophie dropped her, no peace at home since her older sister became anorexic, and no one to sit with at lunch. Until she meets Owen Armstrong. Tall, dark, and music-obsessed, Owen is a reformed bad boy with a commitment to truth-telling. With Owen's help,maybe Annabel can face what happened the night she and Sophie stopped being friends.
