5/21/2023 0 Comments Just listen by sarah dessen![]() Annabel and her sisters have always been models, and it led to one of her sisters (Whitney) developing an eating disorder. As you can probably guess, Just Listen deals with some very heavy topics. Annabel is the one that has to speak up in order to heal. While meeting Owen is an important factor in helping her realise the power of speaking the truth, he is not the one who saves her. Just Listen is all about Annabel as she struggles to connect with her sister and to even admit to herself the truth of what happened that night. ![]() What I really like about Sarah Dessen’s books is that even though there’s romance in them, romance is not the main point of the story. More or less outcasted, Annabel finds herself sitting next to Owen, who had anger management issues but also tells the truth all the time and is a very serious music lover. As the book opens, we can see that Annabel is dealing with some trauma (not specified until much later in the book) and she’s been dropped by her best friend, Sophie. Annabel is a model, and you’d think that means popular and stress-free, but that is not the case. So I’ve come to a little TBR drought, as I’ve not been going to the library, but instead of checking out more ebooks, I thought it would be nice to just reread some books that I have! I really loved Sarah Dessen when I was younger, so I decided to reread Just Listen. ![]()
