"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!"
"Annabel was a girl who had a local modeling career. A commercial she shot in the spring, no longer had any semblence to her life when it aired in the fall. That summer everything changed.
Now friendless, she started sitting on the wall at lunch, all by herself, except for a guy named Owen: Owen, who she had previously witnessed punching someone out - the very same punch that had landed him in a court ordered anger management program.
I really liked this book! Liked the lessons it taught. I loved Owen."
"Am I the only person who is tired of Sarah Dessen? I loved the first book of hers I read, Someone Like You, but unfortunately it seems like the more books of hers I read, the more formulaic her writing becomes. It seems like every novel she writes follows this structure: 1) Girl (with VERY uncommon name) is unhappy about something in her life 2) Girl with very uncommon name meets BOY with very uncommon name 3) Girl and Boy decide to date 4) Big major conflict in story happens that causes girl and boy to doubt each other, and they have a huge fight and then breakup 5) In some versions of the story, the boy and the girl get back together, but in some they don't. Either way, the relationship that occurred causes the girl to realize something really profound about herself, or her life, or blah blah blah. Gag! Why is this author suggesting to our teenagers that they can't overcome the obstacles in life without a boy to help them through it? And she's even a teacher in creative writing! - She's GOT to realize that by this point everything she writes is starting to sound the same! I might be the ONLY person who's NOT looking forward to her new book."
"Annabelle has spent her entire summer sequestered after an incident at a end-of-school party in which she was humiliated in front of all her friends. Her best friend is no longer speaking to her, and we find out in progressive flashblack clips what exactly happened. Before Annabelle can get too lonely, she meets fellow social outcast Owen who teaches her the virtues of honesty and gives her the confidence to come clean about her secrets.
If this storyline sounds familiar, it's because "Just Listen" is extraordinarily similar to Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak", except that the characters in "Just Listen" are one-dimensional and cliche. Annabelle comes across as incredibly passive and weak. Still, it's passable chick lit for romance-minded teen readers."
