Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.Penguin Book,2006.               Genre:Novel

Annabel Greene is a girl who has it all- at least, that's how it seems on TV commercials. Annabel's life is far from perfect. Though some thought that Annabel had everything people often forgot that what she wanted most was to live a normal life. Her friendship with cruel, dramatic Sophie ended on a night she can't bear to remember; her sister Whitney moves back home because of her eating disorder, making her moody and distant, she wants to quit modeling, but can't bear to tell her mom, and she is now an outsider at her school. Then, she meets Owen Armstrong, a boy who has anger management problems and is obsessed with music. He always tells the truth no matter what, and Annabel starts developing a close bond with him, even though they are nothing alike. With his help, Annabel may start facing her fears - and more importantly, speaking the truth.

Just Listen was the first book i read by Sarah Dessen i which you can see all from Annabel perspective and know what she thinks and all her problems she is passing through.For me it was a real good book at first i didn't like it a lot because she had many problems and it was depressing but then when it looks she is solving her problems i couldn't stop  reading  the book.
This book from another book that i read is totally different the truth is that i never read a novel quite like this.



My Favorite quote:
“The people who know  you best can be riskier ,because the words they say and the things they think have the potential to be not only scary but true ,as well”.

Just Listen was the first book i read by Sarah Dessen. This book made me want to read another books for this author ,because i fell she have an strong connection with the teenagers (how thy think,their problem, how they feel) . I fell in love in the way Sarah characterized Owen Armstrong. He became like my dream guy.
