| I read this book, "Just Listen" and it is so amazing and awesome. I read it in a total of nine hours and it was so hard for me to put down. I'm going to post a summary of the book from Barnes & Noble in the spoilers box. P.S: The main love interest Owen is almost as dazzling as Edward. - Spoiler:
when Annabel, the youngest of three beautiful sisters, has a bitter
falling out with her best friend-the popular and exciting Sophie-she
suddenly finds herself isolated and friendless. but then she meets
owen-a loner, passionate about music and his weekly radio show, and
always determined to tell the truth. And when they develop a
friendship, Annabel is not only introduced to new music but is
encouraged to listen to her own inner voice. with owen's help, can
Annabel find the courage to speak out about what exactly happened the
night her friendship with Sophie came to a screeching halt?

| You should try This Lullaby by the same author, it was awesome and the guy Dexter is sooo annoying yet sweet. | |

| OME! I totally love that book! It's so amazing! I'm a total music freak so I really enjoyed it. I also really like Owen's perspective on things. Anyway, great book, everyone should read it! | |

| I heard it is really good and cannot wait to read it!
Question: Will reading the summary spoil the ending? | |

| No, reading the summary will not spoil the ending. I just put it in the spoiler box, because it kind of looked cooler that way.  | |

| I read it two days ago, and it is really good!
I thought the ending was not the best though. What did you think? | |

| I'm putting what I though of the ending in the spoilers box below... - Spoiler:
I liked the ending. Sarah Dessen made the ending really light and fluffy, which I thought was appropriate. You get to see Anabel happy with Owen after many months of depression over what happened, and her finally finding peace.

| I'm reading that right now! Not too far into it, though. . .
Okay, I finished it a few nights ago, and here's what I think in form of recipe:
1 Tablespoon 'Speak'
1 Teaspoon 'Twilight'
1 Cup Original Sarah Dessen flavoring
Stir (write)
Bake (publish)
Taste (read)
I really liked it, as well as Along For the Ride and Someone Like You. | |

| I like your formula, it seems very precise.
It did have some elements that related to Speak and to Twilight, but I think that what made this so unique was it was almost in a league of it's own in terms of teen realistic fiction. | |
