           Annabel has no luck with Sophie anymore. They got into a fist fight and that was the end of their relationship. But now she found Owen. He loves music. Its like, to him, apart of his "life". He can't live without ii. Owen has his own station, even. He doesn't listen to pop music. He listens to a different genre than any other student would not know of. Then there is Molly, Owen's little sister. Molly met Annabel when Owen gave her a ride home.

JUST LISTEN

        Just Listen is written by the New York Times bestseller author, Sarah Dessen. Annabel Greene is the character that takes place of this time. She has two older sisters, Whitney & Kristen. She has a depressed mother and an uptight father. Her family looks like a typical American family. But if you read closely in between the lines you'll see the truth.

         Kristen is older and has her life with no boyfriend, Whitney is constantly not eating and losing ton of weight. There is a difference in Whitney's personality. She still lives with her parents and she isn't 18 yet. There is a lot going on in chapter 5. Most I cannot tell you about. Annabel has a friend named Sophie. They are best friends. At least they were. Sophie doesn't like Annabel. Clarke, Annabel's other friend, doesn't like Annabel either or talks to her. Its all hail down to Owen. I cannot tell you yet but Annabel is once again happy.

        Most things you know and most you don't but there are endings. Whitney has an eating disorder and all they can do now is wait until she gets out of her treatment. Nothing is going right for this year. Hold on tight and buckle up for Annable's rollercoaster!

Forever In Blue

The Fourth Summer of Sisterhood

        Ann Brashares is the author of all the Sisterhood novels. In her novels she writes about four different girls that are friends but have different life styles. There is Lena, she loves painting but there is one thing bothering her, Kostos. They meet in Greece and feel in love but something went wrong, which Lena does not want to deal with. Then there is Carmen, she goes off to college to fallow her dream, acting. A "friend", more likely a user to Carmen, acts to be her friend and gets into a lot of trouble. Bridget is another one. For the summer she goes to the coast of Turkey for a dig and finds that her professor is likely to be hers. Then There is Tibby. She stays inner hometown with her boyfriend, Ryan, but when something foes wrong, Tibby leaves him behind in wonder of him.

    The book starts off with the welcome meeting. Its where all the girls come together and decide who gets the pants first and who gets it last. The pants are like a scrapbook but you wear them. The pants are  a symbol to the girls. Sadly, Carmen couldn't make it. It was only the four of them. It was the ned of the school year and they really wanted to have everyone there. None could make it. Bridget was leaving off to Turkey, Lena was going to an art class away from their hometown and Tibby was there alone. Carmen had some family business that she couldn't come at all. Maybe their friendship wont last after all.

      I would recommend the series of novels to a reader that enjoys to have fun in their reading. A person that likes to read about conflicts that sometimes can put you in a position that you wouldn't want to be in. Each and ever book Ann creates has a lesson that the reader has to find out!
