Review:A summer of weddings, a girl with a damaged heart, an annoying guy, and a bet - what could go wrong? Once and For All is a delightful new novel with Sarah Dessen's trademark mix of romance, summer, and starting over.
Louna works for her mother's wedding planning business. Every week she witnesses the pinnacle of true love. Or at least that's what it should be. But Louna herself knows how badly love can end, leaving her cynical and sure that romance doesn't come around all that often. Then... Read more
Review:Have you ever had that feeling after reading a book where you can not stop thinking about it? Well I just finsihed this book a few minuted ago and the many well thought out themes that Sarah Dessen inserts in this book are still running through my mind. That Summer is my current favorite book, and I have read a lot of books!
What is it about? A fifteen year old girl, unique, as all people are, but I still found myself relating to her completely. She is tall and skinny, feeling as if she is a ... Read more
Review:No deep emotional read for me, just a cute, unrealistic, slightly sappy teenage romance. Wes prefers sharing feelings to trying to get laid and Macy has a deep respect for her mother. Lol, sorry but not very believable. Read more

Review:This was, as always, a good read. Sarah Dessen never disappoints!
I have begun to notice through reading all of her books though that a lot of details remain the same. It would be nice to get some more variety. Read more
Review:Terrific story although I wish it focused more on Scarlett and Macon. I love sarah dessen so much. This is only my 3rd book Ive read by her theyre all amazing. Finished in only a couple of days although I never wanted it to end. Macon was a total jerk, although i wish there was closure for him and halley. I also love the idea of halleys name from her grandmother and halleys comet. great plot and character development. This might be my fav book by sarah. Read more
Review:First I would like to say I appreciate the effort of writing A book...let alone 3...so Im sorry for my unkind review but the amount of sheer constant mess that this story degrades into leaves you feeling bored, exhausted, and dissatisfied. Like an encounter with a selfish lover. It just feels heartbreaking because it has so much potential. Maybe a little more time spent on maturing and refining would have improved this book...and parts of it were briefly awesome...man i cant get away from this a... Read more
Review:Some of the children's classics become dry and difficult for modern kids to embrace. The Railway Children, whilst containing a little old style language, provides a gripping story line with imagery that children can embrace. Still an excellent read. Read more
Review:Brings the story of Tinker Bell, Neverland & Peter Pan to a whole new level. Its amazing how the author turned childrens stories to a wonderful, heartbreaking, fantastical book. 100% recommend to ANYONE Read more
Review:“The Female of the Species” is a YA with teenagers engaging in the realistic teenage activities that adults like to pretend aren’t happening, and does not sugarcoat or shy away from the ugliness and hypocrisy of “acceptable” societal actions and behaviors. Told through the alternating perspectives of Alex, her best friend “PK”/Claire and Jake, what seems like a book that will be a revenge thriller/sociopathic killer teen novel tells a more nuanced, emotional and compelling story.
After Al... Read more
