I wish Sarah Dessen was writing when I was 16. My life may have been different. Then again, maybe not.

Sarah easly picks up the voice of a 17 year old girl and tells an interesting yet relatable tale from her point of view.

I have never been dissapointed by Ms. Dessen's ability to capture the reader and was very happy to still feel that way when most other chick lit and teen fiction books are just not capturing me.

As an added bonus, I love how Sarah will slip in characters and locations from past books giving me the feeling I just ran into an old friend.

I look forward to her next novel.
