Sarah Deesen is one of the best girl teen authors around. I absolutely love her books! Her newest one coming out soon is called, What Happened to Goodbye. Amazon
Her books are all about relationships, family issues, coming of age, self-image and much more. But what I like about her books and the style of her writing as well as the content is that they are classy, appropriately written so that the teens today can relate to what they are reading. Sarah Dessen is a teacher, a writer, and a mom. What more can I say. If you haven't read any of her books, check them out. Better yet, get a few at the library.
"The books I read when I was teenager, the good ones anyway, have stuck more in my mind than anything since. I still love books, but while I couldn't tell you complete plots of novels I read even six months ago, I do remember even the smallest descriptive details from Lois Lowry's A Summer to Die or Judy Blume's Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I think it was because back then books were still somewhat new to me, and when I found an author who seemed to say just what I was feeling, it really struck me and resonated. I hope that my books do that for the people who read them: I think it's the best thing to which any writer can aspire." Sarah Dessen
I promise you won't be dissappointed!
