Real Talk Book Talk

  One of the most powerful Books By Sarah    Wake up, Caitlin  Ever since she started going out with Rogerson Biscoe, Caitlin seems to have fallen into a semiconscious dreamland where nothing is quite real.   Rogerson is different from anyone Caitlin has ever known.   He's magnetic.    He's compelling.   He's dangerous.       Being with him makes Caitlin forget about everything else--her missing sister, her withdrawn mother, her lackluster life.   But what happens when being with Rogerson becomes a larger problem than being without him?  This book is an emotional one. It is one that many teenagers go through.

When I’m not writing I’m making jewelry, painting, drinking sweet tea, watching the discovery channel, or going on random adventures in the mountains of North Carolina with my amazing husband.

 Hey y'all! So I know I've sucked lately, and haven't gotten around to doing any Book Talks. Well, I'm here to make up for it!  That Summer by the talented Sarah Dessen     The more things change...  For fifteen-year-old Haven, life is changing too quickly. She's nearly six feet tall, her father is getting remarried, and her sister—the always perfect Ashley—is planning a wedding of her own.   Haven wishes things could just go back to the way they were.   Then an old boyfriend of Ashley's reenters the picture, and through him, Haven sees the past for what it really was, and comes to grips with the future.  I think that this was a good book. It has a good message of growing up.   Honestly this is my least favorite Sarah Dessen. It doesn't do it for me like her other books have.   This wasn't my first Sarah book and I'm glad it wasn't, because I probably wouldn't have read any other book...
