Just Listen
Just Listen
By: Sarah Dessen
MY RATING: 4 Stars
Annabel was the girl who had everything, at least from what it seemed in her modeling commercials. Now she has nothing, no friends, no excitement, and definitely no one to sit with. Well, that is until she meets Owen.
Just Listen is a wonderful story of mental health, family, and listening to those around you (as well as yourself). It does touch on some difficult subjects but author Sara Dessen does a great job of keeping it from getting too intense. She keeps the story safe for young adults and could be a great tool for anyone going through anything.
I loved the tones of family and friendship as well as the mentions of how healing music can be. I'm so glad I took the time to finally finish reading this book. I did feel that some moments could have been left out as they didn't contribute much and made the story slightly boring in those spots. However, they were so few it still earns 4 stars from me.
Just Listen has been a story I have wanted to read for a long time. I started reading it during high school but due to sensitive topics and my life at the time, I wasn't able to finish it. However, now being older it was a wonderful read and I see how helpful it could be for anyone, ESPECIALLY those who have been in similar situations and life experiences.
*As a warning there is talk of underage drinking, eating disorders, depression, and sexual assault. It isn't deeply detailed, but may be important to know before reading if any of these topics are sensitive for you.*
