![]() ![]() I read novels by Sarah Dessen not necessarily because I love her stories, but because I love the way she writes, and how her books evoke emotion and make me feel things. Her blossoming friendship with Owen teaches Annabel how to speak up about the truth regarding what really happened between her and Sophie's boyfriend, and about her true goals when it comes to her future-and it doesn't involve modeling. Owen introduces Annabel to his eclectic music, and teaches her about the importance of being honest and acting like her true self regardless of what others may think. ![]() While eating lunch in seclusion every day to escape dirty looks in the lunchroom, Annabel befriends Owen-an outsider with a reputation for being one of the scariest, meanest-tempered kids in school. ![]() Even when modeling part-time when she's not in school, Annabel just can't seem to escape hearing about how she supposedly slept with her best friend's boyfriend. Just Listen is about a high school girl named Annabel Greene who begins the new school year with a bad reputation thanks to rumors being spread about her by her former best friend Sophie. I'm an occasional reader of YA romance and I love Dessen's writing style, so I'll usually grab her titles when I see them at secondhand book stores. Just Listen is the seventh YA novel by Sarah Dessen and the third novel I've read by this author. ![]()
