I really liked this book. This is the third book I have read by Sarah Dessen now and I must admit I'm a fan and want to read more(she has written a lot of books and I happen to be reading another one next) She's one of those authors that don't sugarcoat family,friends, and life. Her books are't like the perfect families you see on a lot of TV shows and movies. Of course there is love in the families she writes about but the families are far from being perfect and usually go through something painful and emotional,and that's what I like the most is the realness. This book is about Annabel Greene who is the youngest of 3 sisters and who models and does commercials. She has a falling out with her bestfriend Sophie(major witch-w+b) who thinks she cheated with her boyfriend Will Cash(she really doesn't know the half of it though) and suddenly goes back to school with no friends and people gossiping about her.Meanwhile at home her second oldest sister(Whitney) is has a eating disorder that she is trying to overcome with the help of her family. Annabel suddenly becomes good friends with the school loner and music obsessed Owen Armstrong. He helps her with bringing the truth out she so desperately tries to hide from everyone about what happened before school began. I totally think people should read this book(I also love the fact that Sarah Dessen doesn't make her books mainly about romance either but more about the problems her characters are going through)
