About this listen
"Wake up, Caitlin." My English teacher wasn't the only person who'd noticed.
"Caitlin!" the dance coach barked as I flubbed another cartwheel.
"Caitlin?" Rina, my best friend, asked. "Hello?"
And finally, the one voice to which I snapped to attention, every time.
"Caitlin," Rogerson said, and I listened so hard, trying to tell just by the cadence what might happen when we were alone.
What they don't understand is that Caitlin can't afford to leave this dreamland, this half-sleeping state where everything and everyone can be kept at arm's length. Because then she'd have to face the ugly truth about her relationship with Rogerson: magnetic, fascinating--and very dangerous--Rogerson. What is it about Rogerson Biscoe...and why can't she leave him?
In her most challenging novel yet, acclaimed author Sarah Dessen guides listeners through the harrowing netherworld of a young woman's shattered dreams to her profound awakening.

Remy always knows the perfect time to give a boyfriend "The Speech" telling him it's over - after the initial romantic whirl, but before the reality of an actual relationship hits. Her friends tease that her boyfriend tally is nearing the triple digit mark, but she's a girl who knows just how to avoid any messy emotional entanglement. After all, she's had the example of her five-times-married mother to show her what not to do.So what, then, is it about Dexter that makes it so hard for her to follow her own rules?

When 16-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs - however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, who she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her archnemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger).

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

My Favorite Book
This was my favorite book growing up. It basically gave me hope that no matter what you go through you can come out the other side so much stronger! I related to the main character because I went through a lot of the same situation she did.

One of my favorites
This has been a favorite book of mine for a while. I love love Sarah dessen. The narrator is ok. You get used to her after the first chapter. I feel she is slightly nasally and her male voices make me laugh. But I appreciate the effort she puts into different voices so I can follow the dialogue easier.

My favorite book!
I have read this book dozens of times since I first discovered it as a kid and its always spoken to me like no other book has (other than the HP series) so when i saw the audio version i was ecstatic! Overall the book is awesome, the storyline hooks you within the first page, but the narrator is very bland and boring so much so that it almost made me not want to listen to it but i toughed it out. I'm not an expert but i feel i would of done a way better job at reading it out loud.

Great
I think the author really captured Caitlyn's voice, however I didn't really prefer her voicing the other voices but it was still great it was just how I imagined her voice the first time I read it.

cliche after school special
Ugh. If this is what all Dresssen's books are like, I'll pass on Amy future books.
