Sarah Dessen

[close] So I always have this problem that once I finish a book I never know what to read next. I guess this is what this book club is for (people who are like me lol) This isn't a book club where we all have to read the same things, more like a place where we tell each other what were reading and how we like it. That way people like me can see what books out there are worth reading.

[close] This group reads tons of young adult books that deal with real life problems, dystopian books, and enjoyable literature that is often read in high school. Most of the young adult book we read feature themes such as drug and alcohol abuse, psychological disorders, depression, etc. We read a wide range to dystopian books. We also read tons of common high school required reading books such as The Giver, A Separate Peace, To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Great Gatsby, Anthem etc.

[close] I wanted to host a Sarah Dessen Read-Along of all her novels! For many this will involve re-reading, but it also means that we get to share the experience with each other all over again.

[close] Are there any Sarah Dessen lovers here? :) This will be mostly focused on Sarah Dessen's YA novels, but if you have any suggestions that remind you of Sarah Dessen, feel free to talk about those too.
