Book Review:

JUST LISTEN by Sarah Dessen Review by MY POV:

          What I learned from this book was that everybody has a voice and it is up to ourselves to decide whether or not we listen to it or we don't. Its not complicated, unless you are. Just listen really speaks volumes in many ways for young teens, speaking up, being you, and learning to accept yourself. All the things I value so much. This story has a great plot and concept, and it is very well written. But the thing that really hit me, was the people in the story it self. Annabel the main character, wanted to change and be an always honest person, but in reality she found out it is harder than it seems. 

         There of course was a little romance and friendship going on in the story, but that was barely even half of what it was all about. Now many people will have the input on what they think the story all together stands for, but I am just going to tell you what I believe its message and what it stands for is. For me its message is about having that voice from within you, your opinion, and your aviate, there is no one better at being all those things for you other than yourself. This book has so many outlets of power that its message holds, which is too just listen to yourself, and for one do what makes you feel good about yourself, not caring if someone may find it weird. Its message I believe can and probably has helped thousands of girls out there and them being too shy to come forward about assault, or just speaking there true opinions to others. I just know the one thing that makes this book one of the best books I read, was the hope and power it gave me more, to accept my self and be honest. 


I rate Just Listen by Sarah Dessen 10/5!!!!
