As usual Sarah Dessen's coming of age theme is not absent in Just Listen. This book is one of my favorite YA books. Dessen's subtle touches at big emotions slowly reel you in. While I felt the middle was long and the ending short; I loved the swirling journey Annabel takes. There are so many important issues in this novel. Dessen made eating disorders, abuse, and etreme confrontation phobia part of life in a way that made it normal. Of course none of these things are healthy, they are part of life. This book led me to write my own sequel...there was so much that wasn't covered. Otherwise perfect.

Rating : 9/10
