Okay, so I've never read this author's work before, but, after reading her reviews and finding out that people think she's one of the best YA writers to come along in a while, I'm definitely going to check her out. Her name is Sarah Dessen, and some of her works are "The Truth About Forever," "Just Listen," and "This Lullaby". Actually, the synopsis for Just Listen sounds along the lines of your stuff, Kelly. Well, sort of lol
Last year, Annabel was "the girl who has everything"—at least that’s the part she played in the television commercial for Kopf ’s Department Store.This year, she’s the girl who has nothing: no best friend because mean-but-exciting Sophie dropped her, no peace at home since her older sister became anorexic, and no one to sit with at lunch. Until she meets Owen Armstrong. Tall, dark, and music-obsessed, Owen is a reformed bad boy with a commitment to truth-telling.With Owen’s help,maybe Annabel can face what happened the night she and Sophie stopped being friends.
Gosh, i really need to go to the library lol
