Book Review of Just Listen

Just Listen
Just Listen
Author: Sarah Dessen
Genres: Children's Books, Teen & Young Adult
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 5


Dessen does not disappoint! This story, like her others, really draws you into the lives of the characters so well, you can't help but root for the major players to make the right decisions. This book had many side plots going on that were serious, but approached with a realistic spin. It's hard to imagine a book dealing with depression, rape, anorexia, anger management and the social ladder of high school, could completely address those issues, but Just Listen is incredibly written. I recommended this book for readers of all ages. You will have a hard time putting it down!
