I am a huge fan of Sarah Dessen books and I was wondering if there were any people out there that likes her books too... my personal favorite is "This Lullaby". I'm hoping they make a movie out of it!

i love sarah dessen. i stayed up till 3 (AM) reading "This Lullaby" once, and i was feeling so touched by it. seriously. i want to read "the truth about forever" sometime. my favorite: keeping the moon. i love how she finds confidence and learns to see the beauty in herself.

ok that was a little corny _smile.gif

Yup. I've read all of her books. The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby are definitely my favorites.

Oh, and did you know that the movie How To Deal, the one with Mandy Moore that came out a while back, is based on Sarah Dessen's two books Someone Like You and That Summer?

I love Sarah Dessen. So far I've Read This Lullaby, Someone Like You, and Keeping the Moon. I've read a little bit of Dreamland, but then I stopped. I want to continue it though.

Two of her books became a movie, actually. Someone Like You and That Summer were merged together to make the movie "How To Deal" starring Mandy Moore. _smile.gif

I think Just Listen, her new one, is my favorite, and then it's This Lullaby. Her books are fantastic, I own most of them, and have read them all at least twice *laughs* I'm a reading fiend! wacko.gif

Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors ever, but I have yet to read Just Listen. Someone Like You is definitely my favorite, and it's what the movie How to Deal was based on. I've never seen it though.
angelrevelation
the truth about forever! i could really relate to it the first time i read it.
