Just Listen

Today's post is in honor of Sarah Dessen. I met her today! And if you don't know who she is...well let me enlighten you.

She is an author.

She is one of the very few authors out there that DON'T write about vampires.

She is seriously just a normal person who is crazy talented at writing.

Her books are relate-able.

How many times have you read a book and realized you didn't really like it because you couldn't relate to the characters? Sarah Dessen seems to make characters that hold part of your personality, even if it is just a very small part of your personality.

And sometimes her books go really deep, like Just Listen.

Most people don't know about her. I would tell people today, "I'm going to see Sarah Dessen today!" and they would say, "Who????" Sad.

So I'm telling the world right now who Sarah Dessen is. And you should read her books. You will love them. Unless you're a guy. You might not exactly get into them. But still, you could try.

Her book signing was in this awesome place that was seriously five miles away from a big city but it felt like you had entered a small town. The trees were so big, they made the road look like a tunnel of green. All the houses were small and quaint and tons of cafe's dotted the blocks. And it was quiet.

You know how you're so used to hearing people drive by with blasting music? It's just the norm. But there, it was quiet. You could hear the wind rustling through the tree's leaves and the rush of cars driving by. Only once a car drove by with blasted music and it was not normal. I loved that place.
