The One With the New Sarah Dessen Book

Wow...so haven't been on here for a while, as in over a month D: And I said I was going to write into this every week? FAIL. Since my last post, a lot has happened for all you curious creepers. I kind of actually had a life! Shocking, isn't it? Sadly, because of it, I started reading less :( But music has always been there which is great. I have many new artists for you guys (hopefully shown in later posts!), but for now... are any of you all Sarah Dessen fans?

If you didn't know, her new novel What Happened to Goodbye will be released May 10 this year. I have been waiting for this since her latest book Along for the Ride and was extremely happy to find out that she was coming out with something new :D Well, two days ago, I was able to get my hands on a copy before the release date! And of course I ripped through that book very quickly. Sarah Dessen has seriously done it again :)

What Happened to Goodbye is based on Mclean Sweet, who's parents divorced. For the next two years of the separation, Mclean decides to stick with her dad who currently moves around the country taking over restaurants that are about to hit rock bottom. Every time she and her dad move, Mclean makes a new personality in every new town and school, and tries not to connect with people. When she arrives in Lakeview, she meets many interesting people and boy of the book, Dave Waver (who kind of reminds me of me :]). The small town was nothing that Mclean expected, and while everything seems to be good on the outside, it sometimes seems like she struggles with her inner self.

I hope I haven't given to much away! I finished the book and it seriously made me cry. I'm not too sure why, but it was an amazing book. I had to return it b/c other people were waiting to read it as well, but I'll probably buy another copy when it's officially released. Doesn't matter if I've already read it, I will probably read it three more times after that :D

Rant of the week? I have one, but I don't really want to ruin this post :( I love Sarah Dessen too much for that haha XD

Yup, I think that's about it! Oh, and even though this might be a bit late and a bit early: HAPPY BIRTHDAY YVONNE AND MARK!!! :DD I love you guys a ton and wish you both a Sweet 16 :)
