Dreamland by Sarah Dessen [YA Fiction]
by Melanie, entering 12th grade
Caitlin has always lived under the shadow of her “perfect” older sister Cass. Cass just ran away from everything, weeks before she was supposed to go to college. Now Caitlin is left to pick up the pieces and have the attention of her mother for the first time.
Another classic Sarah Dessen book — as I am reading more and more of her books, I’ve noticed that they’re all written in the same basic format. The book deals with abusive relationships and it was somewhat unrealistic. It comes very unexpectedly — you read about one or two incidents and then by the end of the book she is a battered girl.
