      This was recommended to me by students and I have been meaning to read it for a while, but just got to it. I thought it was ok. I think it was interesting topic...how parents relationships can affect how their children function in relationships, however, I did think it was little slow. The same student that recommended this novel to me also thought it would make a good discussion book which I think might be the case. There are a lot of topics that could be discussed--maybe next year.

Cover of "That Summer"
    • This definately was my least favorite Dessen book. I just couldn't relate to the main character. Her angst did not ring true to me. Her relatship with Casey, her best friend, seemed realistic.

Cover of "Someone Like You"
Cover of "Keeping the Moon"
    • I liked this a lot. I loved how Colie grew into herself. I could really relate to her as a character. I think many, many girls don't realize how beautiful they really are. It kind of reminded me of Carolyn Mackler's The Earth, my Butt and Other Big Round Things.

      This is the best Dessen yet. I couldn't stop reading it. I thought it was thought provoking and entertaining. I look forward to hear what the students thought about it. Annabel seems at times so very old, yet so very young. I forget sometimes that she is not in college or in her mid-twenties. The thing that I am not sure about and might need a re-read of the last part is whether or not she was raped or did he only attempt it. I was a little confused by this. This novel reminded me a lot of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
