I thoroughly enjoyed reading this review. I've written so many lukewarm reviews lately, that it almost makes me WANT to read a bad one so I can rant a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-1512383590320385592011-05-17T17:31:05.832-06:002011-05-17T17:31:05.832-06:00Selina, I'll definitely try some more of Dess...Selina, I'll definitely try some more of Dessen's books but I hope they aren't like this one.

Your review made me laugh! Never read anything by Sarah Dessen, but read some good reviews on her other books, so I might try those instead :)Selinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136195712723237211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-83570890013653173292011-05-17T08:37:48.766-06:002011-05-17T08:37:48.766-06:00Suey, I'm not giving up on Sarah Dessen books...Suey, I'm not giving up on Sarah Dessen books.

FAT FREAKING CHANCE! :) Just Listen is my favorite of hers so far, and I've read a bunch. It's got lots of music talk in it, and I thought the guy was really cool. So, when you are ready, try that one!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-66920739907334564332011-05-16T17:22:14.240-06:002011-05-16T17:22:14.240-06:00Dana, Thank you!

This probably wouldn't be a good one for me to read. I've been taller than average since kindergarten and it's really not that bad. I'd probably get pretty annoyed with her whining over it. :)Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596812416767312602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-78311826985394450702011-05-16T12:09:50.425-06:002011-05-16T12:09:50.425-06:00I love the honesty in your reviews. :) I know a lo...I love the honesty in your reviews. :) I know a lot of people really like Sarah Dessen's books, so maybe this is one of her weaker ones? I've only read one (The Truth About Forever) and thought it was pretty good. But I don't think I'll be picking this one up.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221304377970098013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-47649464887366682592011-05-16T12:08:04.918-06:002011-05-16T12:08:04.918-06:00Thanks for this review.
