Just Listen By Sarah Dessen

If you haven't noticed, two out of my three books that I have been reviewing have been by Sarah Dessen. The reason for that is because she is an amazing author and she really draws me into her books. Once I pick it up, I have a hard time putting it down! This particular book of hers is just a little bit different than Dreamland. It is different in the sense that it has different characters, different settings and different problems. The main character, Annabel, has a major problem. Her problem is that her sister, Whitney, slowly begins to develop eating disorders, that get very bad. Whitney is usually very healthy and strong, but she moves for a job and does not have her family supporting her, so she just loses track of herself, I guess. This book may be hard for some readers to connect to, because if you don't have an eating disorder you don't really know exactly what Whitney is going through. I don't have an eating disorder, but I can imagine that it would be pretty hard to deal with something like that, and hard to stop when you get into the habit and can't control it. Annabel's family is leaving her out on the updates about her sister, and Annabel is really worried. Annabel and both of her older sisters, Whitney and Kirsten, are models and love to model, but with Whitney in the terrible conditions that she is in, will the family be able to continue this hobby, or will it be too hard to move on? I haven't read much of the book yet, maybe five chapters, but I am so excited to find out the upcoming events. This book is great, so I think that everybody that is in need of a book should read it!
