i loved this book to the core. it made me to start thinking back to how i've lived my life. about all the mistakes i have made and definitely all the lies i have made up! i think that everyone secretly wishes they were like Owen Armstrong. u knw, always saying what you think whether it hurts or not. or always telling the truth no matter what kind of trouble it would get you. after i read this book, it made me realise how we as humans are so dishonest. I wish we could all just have the strength and willpower to always tell the truth and always speak up. As for Annabel Greene, she just needed someone to listen to her. it had mostly been about her sisters. first her sister having an eating disorder and her Mother been so fragile to here the truth. But thankfully, she found someone that was willing to listen in Owen Armstrong. :)

Great Read
This book was great. It really opened your eyes to some of the issues that people deal with and made you understand them from their points of view. Very compassionate story!

Oh what a book!
This was actually the first book I read of Sarah Dessen and I have fell in love with her way of writing ever since. Through out all the books I've read of hers this is the best. It's like reading into someone's diary and I swear the characters will relate to you in some way. At one point you will feel as if your the main character. Very touching and definetly READ this book you will not be let down.
