However, I dont read contemp but when I do, I do like some swooniness going on! :) Still i plan to give this one a try someday soon! Oh but i do also dislike reading about completely negligent and clueless parents.

I'll add Just Listen to my list - been getting lots of recs for that one. I loved The Truth About Forever too!

I definitely recommend Just Listen as your next Sarah Dessen read. I think that was the first book of hers that I read, so it's stuck with me (though The Truth About Forever is probably still my favourite). And this post already has me craving pizza. Might get some as a treat now exams are over!

I liked that she went a bit darker in this book and tackled some serious issues, but I could have handled a bit more swoon as well. I do love how Dessen writes families and friends -- she's the best at portraying families and real friendships I think. I think you should read Along for the Ride next. I liked that one after TTAF.ChristinaBookAddictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-2810122802753154942015-05-27T11:26:32.890+01:002015-05-27T11:26:32.890+01:00Along for the Ride is fantastic!

Answering to your question, my favorite book by her that you didn't mention is Just Listen, it was such a quick but emotional read. This Lullaby is a longer read but it was pretty great too. Hope you'll enjoy them if you choose to read them. <br />Lovely review. :)Veronika Éleshttp://www.reading-is-dreaming-with-open-eyes.blogspot.hu/noreply@blogger.com
