just listen

so i just finished my book and it was amazing.

in this part of the book annabel and owen were going to a concert and they got there and were hanging out but annabel was upset just tried not to show so she said she had to go to the bathroom but instead she left. before she left she hooked owens friend rolly up with one of her ex best friends clark.annabel left the concert and owen got mad at her becuase she ended up avoiding him for 2 months after he confronted her about just leaving and how he waited for her and was really worried.

emily another one of annabels exfriends got raped by the same guy that annabel got raped by except instead of holding it in emily went to the cops which braught up a trial against will cash and emily. emily confronted annabel about the rape and told her that she thaught it happened to annabel to which it did.

owen made a bunch of c.d's for annabel and one of the c.d's said just listen on it....the c.d was blank so it filled annabels room with silence and it made her start thinking about will and everything that he did to her so the next day she decided to appologize to owen and he accepted ...after another fight ofcourse... and she came out to owen and told him about will raping her and her sister eating disorder. so owen talked her into calling emilys agent thing...who is taking care of the trial and talk to her about it and annabel was asked to testify and while she was doing this...owen went to a club and saw will cash and get extremely mad and punched him in the eye.. so the next day annabel goes to the court testifys against will and will gets sentenced to 6 years in prison for second degree rape...

rolly and clark are now dating....owen and annabel are back dating ... and clark and annabel are happily friends... annabel quit modeling and her mother got a part time job at the modeling agency.

sooooo my opinion on this book is that it was a very good book and if you like books that are about the stuff that could happen in everyday life ! im sure you would like this book


MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS ... WOULD YOU BE HAPPY THAT YOUR LIFE IS SEMI BACK TO NORMAL AND YOU HAVE YOUR OLD BEST FRIEND BACK AND YOU AND OWEN ARE A COUPLE??

DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS BOOK? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Just Listen

Ok so in this part of my book Annabel found out that owen has been to jail because he was in a fight with another guy and owen got cuaght and went to jail.Owen discovered a new band that he liked so he picked up annabel and wanted her to listen to it but she made the mistake and covered her ears because she didnt like it and told owen that all music sounds better through a car wash. So owen took annabel through a car wash and they had another one of there moments and kissed in the carwash...after owens car roof was leaking down on them.

Annabel still hasnt told her mother that she wants to quit modeling because she dosnt have the courage to and said that she would do it after this model shoot.I dont think annabel will tell her mother and think she will chicken out again.

Annabel has noticed that her sister has been coming out of her room little by little like she left the door open and then she came out off and on throughout the day then eventually her sister was hanging out near the pool outside or was in the living room all the time.She has also noticed that her sister is going out more and working once a week for her father's office and that she can finnaly admit that she has an eating disorder.I think that the therapy is helping Annabel's sister become better with her eating disorder.

Do you think Annabel will tell her mother that she wants to quit modeling? why or why not?
Do you think that Annabel's sister is becoming better after going through therapy? why or why not?

SO...... in this part of my book Annabel gets in a fight with her x-friend in a parking lot while they are fighting the security of the school breaks them up. After the fight Annabel makes her way to some grass where she gets sick and this boy named Owen helps her up from the grass and sits her up against the wall . she has been sitting next to Owen everyday at lunch but it has been at distance and she has never talked to him before. Owen is a big guy so Annabel thinks he is mean and she heard bad rumors but once she begins to know Owen now that they talk everyday at lunch and hangout on weekends occasionally she gets to know Owen and more and finds that he is a great guy who is always honest. He has been arrested cause of a fight with a boy and he is taking anger management. Annabel also figures out that he has become obsessed with music after his parents divorced and he has a little sister who is obsessed with Annabel and models.

Owen isn't obsessed with music that we would listen to he listens to allot of techno and allot of stuff that calms hims like water dripping with some techno mixed in or weird Mayan chants with crickets chirping.

Annabel and Owen end up getting closer and kissing and Annabel cant stop thinking about Owen or his radio station.Owen is also trying to get Annabell to tell her mom that she doesn't want to model anymore but Annabell doesn't want to hurt her mom ... and she is also thinking about telling her mom that she got raped even though he is talking about the modeling.


In my opinion in Annabells situation i would work my way up to telling my mother that i didnt want to model anymore and be completely honest with her. i think Annabell and Owen would make a good couple and i think that they need to become close friends and still get to know eachother before they do become a couple. I think that Owens taste in music is very odd but it helps him deal with stuff and it calms him down and makes him feel like he isnt in the middle of his parents divorse and he isnt the cause of it :)

so in this situation what do you think you would do? What do you think about Annabell and Owen? AND What do you think about Owen and his passion for music ?

Just Listen-Sarah Dessen

I am reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.In the book there is a girl named Annabel Greene who is in high school and she is in the modeling business.

One summer her best friend accused her of stealing her friends boyfriend but really the guy raped her so all that summer she avoided everyone and she lost all her friends. so when she goes back to school she sits alone at lunch she almost talks to one of her friends but that "friend" gives her mean looks and avoids her and she still hasn't told anyone about the rape. her mom isn't the same since her grandmother died and her sisters arnt very close to her so she has basically no one.

what would you do if you were in Annabel situation? and why ?
