Just Listen
I’m just sure I like Sarah Dessen. I read her books every once in a while but they are all the same and really geared towards teenagers.
Annabelle is a teenager who’s mother pushes her to model, who’s two older sisters are models and have their own issues that push back on Annabelle, and who’s father puts up with it all. She had best friends once, but a nasty rumor left her friendless. Through the struggles, she becomes friends with a non-socialable boy named Owen. Throughout the year, the truth slowly comes out about what really happened to Annabelle and Sophie’s boyfriend, Will Cash. She probably wasn’t his first victim, and definitely was not his last. Now that Emily has come forward and press charges, maybe people will just listen to Annabelle finally tell her side of the story to her former friends. Can they ever be friends again?
This was a good book. Annabelle went through something that a lot of girls have to deal with. She also kept quiet about the rape, similar to other girls. I hope this book will bring to light the seriousness of the situation and help girls come forward when someone violates them.
