Booktalk

The book that i read was Just Listen by Sarah Densen. It was about a girl named Annabel and she talks about how her life was when she was a little girl. She talked about how she had her best friends that lived in her neighborhood, Sophie and Clarke were very close and did everything together. Throughout the book she then talks about what is going on with her life right now at the time. She is in high school and the friends that she use to have are not her friends anymore because she became a model and she became a different person. She changed and became really stuck up and snobby and she lost her friends because of that. No one talks to her at school they just ignore her. Throughout the book she starts having more problems. She finds out her older sister Kristen has an eating disorder. Everything starts going bad and she is stuck and doesnt know what to do. One day a new boy comes to school his name is Owen and he is a very truthful and nice guy. He makes her realize how much friends are important helps her out with her problems and tries to get her on the right path. He makes her open up her eyes and convinces her to talk to her old friends and show them the old Annabel the one before she became a model.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it is a book about a teenage girl that goes through real problems that can happen to any teenage girl. I liked this book because it talks about the real life situations a teen might go through. Lots of things can change a person real fast and they might not even know it until someone else tells them and makes them open their eyes. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone because it talks about real situations any teenager can go through and many people can relate to this book.
