Whitney has an eating disorder which she doesn’t want to acknowledge, Kirsten is the oldest and doesn’t want to model anymore, and then there’s Annabel. Sarah Dessen's Just Listen takes a look inside the glass house.
Under the surface though, it’s an entirely different story. All three are models, and Annabel starred in a commercial as the high school girl who has everything. From the outside, sisters Annabel, Whitney and Kirsten Greene look perfect. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book that touches some subjects that most authors don’t.Not all is as it seems in the Greene’s modern glass home. I chose this book because I have heard that Sarah Dessen is an amazing author and I finished reading it to find out if she learns to ask for help. In this novel you can find out more about Annabel’s story, whether she gets help, if she gets it on time, or if it is too late. Annabel begins to question if she should get help. He convinces her that it is okay to get help and that sometimes holding things in is harder than letting them out.
Owen is an outcast who loves music and is completely honest with everyone and everything. Annabel then thinks, that with her sister’s anorexia, her parents have enough on their mind, and she decides that she is not going to tell them anything. Then, just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, her sister is diagnosed with anorexia. She tries to tell her parents about it, but she does not know how to do it. Annabel often finds herself completely alone at school. The next fall at school everyone around her begins to hate her. At the party Annabel’s best friend Sophie’s boyfriend tries to rape her, but Sophie turns the story around and says that Annabel was sleeping with her boyfriend. Then she went to a party that changed everything. For years Annabel was known as “the girl who has everything.” She was a model, had cool friends, and a perfect family. Sarah Dessen‘s book Just Listen is about a girl named Annabel Greene. Natrona County Library Serving Natrona County, Wyoming, we promote literacy, support discovery and creation, and build community.
