I first read Just Listen, and I honestly felt like I had a lot in common with the main character Annabel. My personality was a lot like hers in some ways, but with better socials skills and more optimistic. Maybe that is the reason why I totally cried in the end when she finally told others what had happened. She had been through a lot, and instead of telling anyone, she just swallowed everything. She swallowed every painful, miserable, bad, and uncertain thing in her life. Her life was full of white lies that she spun for the sake of others. It was so sad...
I haven't cried when reading a book ever since my last Sarah Dessen book Lock and Key. Her books really make me cry, probably because they are always so realistic. I love the way she approaches subjects of great depths and understanding from very simple and small parts of life. It make everything easier to understand, relate to, and reminded of.
