Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

Author: Sarah Dessen
Reading level: Young Adult

Rated 9/10 


After her older sister runs away, sixteen-year-old Caitlin decides that she needs to make a major change in her own life and begins an abusive relationship with a boy who is mysterious, brilliant, and dangerous
MY REVIEW
I liked this book. It kinda makes you think and look twice at things. The story starts out with it being Caitlin's sixteenth birthday and her waking up to find her older sister Cass(who is supposed to be starting Yale soon) has just up and ran away with her boyfriend Adam to get away from the pressure and expectations her life gave her to be perfect. Caitlin soon fills the void her sister has left behind by dating Rogerson who she met one night at a carwash. Their relationship is perfect at first until he starts abusing her. Read the book to find out what happens but like I have said about Sarah Dessen she doesn't sugarcoat her characters and I give her respect for the realness of them. I know life can be like the stories she writes and that's what makes her books so good to read.
