The act of telling, or who you told it to. Readers come across so many relevant topics with this novel (some of them also being potential trigger warnings), such as sexual abuse, anger issues, eating disorders, depression, etc. No matter how many times I’ve read Just Listen, Annabel and her story still hits me so hard. But with the help of her and Owen’s comfortable friendship, will she finally be able to finally face the events that happened the night that she and Sophie stopped being friends?Īfter The Truth About Forever, my next favorite Dessen read would certainly have to be this one. As if his blunt honesty was contagious, she finds that voicing what she really means comes out so easily when she’s with him. But then she meets Owen Armstrong, a truth-telling, music-obsessed guy. With the focus on Whitney, Annabel begins to bury a lot of her thoughts from her family and it becomes a habit. (Though, she didn’t.) At home, her parents are completely oblivious to Annabel’s friendless life seeing as they’re more preoccupied with her older sister who recently became anorexic. At school, she’s shunned by her peers for shamefully stealing her best friend’s boyfriend behind her back at a party last summer.
Though in reality, she’s far from that role. In everyone’s eyes Annabel Greene seems to appear as “the girl who has everything” for the fact that she plays the part of a well-liked, popular cheerleader in a television commercial for Kopf’s Department Store.
