I just finished reading the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.  It's a good book I highly recommend it.  Dessen's stories are always so real, something that could happen.  It's often I read a good book but reading a book that makes you feel something is rare.  Not even my favorite book, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, reaches that level.  While Meyer's books provide me with an amazing love story that cannot be ignored and just keeps you captivated, Dessen's are slower paced but still hypnotizing.  They make me feel like the story is moving at a real pace that it's actually happening.  I've only read two of Dessen's books they both left me mesmerized, pensive.
