OMG!!!!
I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I SAW THIS IN THE RECENTLY UPDATED THREADS!!!!
I love love love love sarah dessen,
and I have read all her books (cept for dreamland, which I could NEVER get my hands on).
I have a signed copy of lock and key from may.
Even though I've read it before,
last week I started to reread it.

SARAH DESSEN IS JUST AWSM.
The truth about forever was.....unbelievable.

The DONNEVENs still get me, ha!

Sarah Dessen is awesome!

the very first book i read of hers was Just Listen, and automatically, i was like. I want to read more!

It's amazing how in Lock & Key some of the characters from the other books were in it. Like Barbara Starr from This Lullabye!!

A Signed Copy? NOT FAIR! I WANT A SIGNED COPY!!!!

I always reread her books. They are AMAZING!

I LOVE SARAH DESSEN!
i have all of her books I just love her writing style and the messages she wants to bring across in her books.
I have read lock and key but i don't find it to be my favorite. Then again I only read it once so far and most of the time I need to read sarah dessen books more then once to understand the full meaning. I'll come back when i read it a second time

i can't say lock and key was my favorite but it was okay.
the characters and how they think are totally relateable.
i read all her books i have to say just listen, the truth about forever and dreamland are my favorites.

^Yeah me too. I love Sarah Dessen.
I didn't like Lock and Key much, but it's still a good story.
My favorite used to be The Truth about Forever, but I like Just Listen more now.

Me too, I always enjoy her books (and Francesca Lia Block's) and her writing style. I agree that Lock & Key isn't quite as good as Just Listen but still pretty poignant. It's just that I felt that I've read the same plotline somewhere else before, that's all.

Hehhh heh, I remember reading on her livejournal that she spent all summer signing pieces of paper that will go onto her books,
(and thus my signed copy),
and afterwards I was like "I HAVE to get this!!!"
and I went to check @ my local Borders--AND THEY HAS SIGNED COPIES ON THE SHELF~~!!! ^^
Hee hee,
I asked my parents to buy it for me as an early b-day present.

It's my baby. Darn, I love that book.

SARAH DESSEN ROX MY SOX
puhahha!

i've only read 'just listen'. It's not bad. I still haven't got a chance to read 'the truth about forever' yet.

I dislike her books. (then again, i dislike teen books overall), but seriously, when I read dreamland, it made me depressed for like a month. (why cant people stop writing stories about stupid girls!?)

Her skill of writing is great, but her stories and characterization piss me off.

the book covers are quite appealing though. xD
