Has anyone out there ever read any books by Sara Desson other than How to Deal? The only other one I've read is Dreamland...I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! So now she is one of my favorite authors. But I wanna know what other books there are by her.
shareI've read This Lullaby. It's pretty good. Very unlike all of her other novels. The main character, Remy, is the popular beautiful girl who drinks, smokes, and sleeps around. There's a lot of swearing, they've graduated from high school after all, but it's a good book.
Keeping the Moon is okay. But I found it kinda hard to like the main character. And the guy she's supposed to fall in love with. The theme of the book is good though.
Also, if you haven't yet, read Meg Cabot. She is hilarious, not as good a novel writer as Sarrah Dessen, but absolutely hilarious. My favorite of hers are "The Boy Next Door," "The Princess Diaries" (series), and "Haunted" (also a series, yet under a different name).
Right now I'm reading Keeping the Moon but I'm only at the beginning so I don't know if I like the main character or not. And I REALLY wanna read This Lullaby but I can only find it in hard back right now and I don't wanna pay 15.00 for it. So I'll wait till it comes to paperback.

How To Deal isn't a novel. it's a combination of That Summer and Someone Like You (both were amazing books)... i'm a little confused that you seem to be regarding how to deal as a novel, though.

well, not really. they packaged 'someone like you' and 'that summer' together with a movie cover and called it 'how to deal.' unless of course you're talking about something else i haven't seen--in which case, do you have a link? it'd be interesting to read. :D
shareNo if you look closer at the book How to Deal (because I own it) you see that inside it is both That Summer and Someone Like You inside. It's both novels printed into one book with the title How to Deal on the cover.
shareThe OP probably thought "How to Deal" was a novel because there's a book out there that says How to deal on the cover and it has both Someone like you and That Summer in it.
shareI LOOOOOVE DREAMLAND!!!!!!!!!!!
Her only book i haven't read is This Lullaby!!!!!!
But i really want to!!!!!
i've only read someone like you and that summer. i didn't really like that summer to me it was kinda boring, but i absolutly loved someone like you!! its such a great book! i haven't seen how to deal yet but i really want to now cause that was such a great book!!
I LUV MAX KASCH!!!
The Truth About Forever is one of Sarah Dessen's newest novels. It is really good.
shareSarah Dessen is her name. I've read all of her novels and they are all exceptionally writen. I LOVE them!
shareI have read all of them except her newest one...I tried but I couldn't get absorbed in it at the time. My absolute favorite is This Lullaby, but I like Keeping the Moon too. I can very much relate to the main character in that one...
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Sarah was my creative writing professor in college, so it's nice to see her getting some praise here. I wasn't that fond of the movie-- I agree the novels are much better-- but aren't they always? ;)
shareI've read all her books. I just finished Keeping the Moon. Dreamland is by far her best book, I really hope someone makes a movie out of that because I'd love to see it on film. If I knew how to write screenplays, I'd start on it right away.
Love is an accident...waiting to happen
i read all her books and i lovee them. i think dreamland is the best realistic book. and this lullaby is the best romantic book .. but my favorite is the truth about forever .. its sooo sweet.
todas las chicos poner para mi ; como tu nadie can hecho sin ti
Read them all, loved them all. They're just so absorbing! Every time I find a new one I simply can't put it down, and my family can't talk to me for two days because I'm just… gone.
It's almost as bad as my Harry Potter obsession.
I think for sure The Truth About Forever is my favorite thus far, but I loved This Lullaby also. I greatly enjoyed Dreamland but it honestly scared me to the point I almost couldn't finish it! To be Caitlin's position. How funny, girls always say that they wouldn't stand for a man who hurt them, emotionally, or physically, yet after reading that I realized that it's possible to be so blinded by love you can't get away.
Sarah's novels are bright, witty, honest and real. They touch true human nerves, and most importantly your heart. To whomever said she was their Creative Writing Prof...I am insanely jealous, I would love to learn from someone so talented.
