Let's just start and see what happens.
Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen
And that was as far as he got before i heard it. The thumping of footsteps, running up the lawn toward me: It seemed like I could hear it through the grass, like leaning your ear to a railroad track and feeling the train coming, miles away. As the noise got closer I could hear ragged breaths, and then a voice. It was my mother.
Sarah Dessen
I am not breaking my rules,' I snapped, hating that I'd ended up on the advice-recieving end of things, jumping from Dear Remy to Confused in Cincinnati all in one summer.
Sarah Dessen
Every book teaches me something about my process, and they are all challenging in one way or another.
Sarah Dessen
All the bitchy girls in the world are just a training ground for what men can do to you.
Sarah Dessen
But against love, the case was solid. Easily argued. And you could, indeed, hold it in your hand.
Sarah Dessen
It's not forever', she'd said, but to my mother, it might as well have been. She had make her choice, and this was it, where she felt safe, in a world she could, for the most part, control.
