The truth about forever by Sarah dessen?

Asked by Wiki User

I don't really understand your question. XD So I'll answer it the best I can... Bye using Goodreads of course!!

Here is the summary...

"After Macy's dad dies, she strives to be perfect. Perfect grades, perfect behavior, perfect boyfriend. Even her mother is perfect. When her boyfriend leaves for genius camp, and Macy is stuck with filling in for his job at the library, Macy starts to feel as if this summer is going to be the worst yet. But then she meets the Wish catering crew, where nothing is ever perfect. Delia, Kristy, Bert, Monica, and especially Wes, who subjects Macy to the fact that nothing's ever perfect, no matter how hard she tries.

By day, Macy is perfect and pristine, working with the snobby girls at the library info desk. By night, though, Macy works with the clumsy, forgetful, always changing crew at Wish.

Macy keeps her Wish nights a secret from her mom, but when Macy's mom finds out, she bans Macy from seeing the crew and forces her to work at a model home in their neighborhood. Macy's mom hires Wish for a party as a last resort. Macy works with them and remembers how fun it really was. Macy's mom finally understands that not everything is perfect and lets Macy off her short leash. Everything comes full circle when Macy finally gets the chance to tell Wes how she feels and her mother is able the grieve for her father's death."

A Brief Plot Summary of the Novel 'Just Listen'

Annabel Greene had what could be considered the perfect teenage life: cool friends, close family, good grades, and a part-time modeling career; at the beginning of summer it all came crashing down. Shaken by an attempted rape from her best friend's boyfriend, she doesn't try to fix the burnt bridges created when everyone turns against her. She dreads facing the world because she thinks no one will believe her and everyone will hate her even more. Her solid family seems fragile, too. What happened to cause the stiff silences and palpable resentments between her two older sisters? Why is no one in her loving but determinedly cheerful family talking about her middle sister's eating disorder? Annabel's devastating secret is revealed in bits and snatches, as readers see her go to amazing lengths to avoid confrontation. Caught between wanting to protect her family and her own struggles to face a devastating experience, Annabel finds comfort in an unlikely friendship with the school's most notorious loner. Owen Armstrong has his own issues with anger, but has learned to control it and helps her realize the dangers of holding in her emotions. Through Owen's obsession with music he teaches Annabel how to listen, and helps her confront her own demons, as well as creating a strong, unbreakable bond between the them. They eventually fall for each other. But as they are at a club listening to a band, Annabel leaves thinking a bout all the bad things in life. When Owen meets her after the day at the club, he gets upset when Annabel doesnt tell him why she left without telling him anything. As they dont talk for months she meets him at the studio telling him everything from the rape, Whitney's Eating disorder, and all the family problems. When Emily Shuster, Sophie and Annabels old friend, almost gets raped by Will cash too, she tells the police and school. When Will gets called to court and they ask for people to testify if they also have been raped or have more information, Annabel doesnt want to go in front of all those people and say her story. But as Owen wants to help her he finally convinces her to go to court and finally tell everybody about that day when Will raped her too. After that tetimony Annabel quits modeling, her sisters are bonding again, and her life is better. Also Clarke and Rolly finally are together. Owen and Annabel also become a couple and live a happy life.

I hope it will help you to comprehend the story better.

What is the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen about?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is what it says on the back of the book:

Annabel Greene is the girl who has everything. At least, that's what she portrays in her modeling shoots. But Annabel's life is far from perfect. Her friendship with Sophie ended bitterly, and her older sister's eating disorder is weighing down the whole family. Isolated and ostracized at school and at home, Annabel retreats into silent acceptance. Then she meets Owen--intense, music-obsessed, and determined to always tell the truth. And with his guidance, Annabel learns to just listen to herself and gains the courage to speak honestly. But will she be able to tell everyone what really happened the night she and Sohie stopped being friends?

hope it helps!.... Ok. So this is what it's really about. Lol. So annabell is like this total social outcast because her super popular best friend hates her because she thinks that annabell had sex with her boyfriend. Then annabel meets this awsome guy named Owen. Owen and annabel fall in love and and tells everyone how the popular girl's boyfriend raped her. The end. That's the jist of it

Are there any examples of figurative language in the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen?

Asked by Wiki User

Just Listen is a book that is pretty much baout a girl who is has it all, but no one can see that she is fighting her own battle inside. Then the outcast that everyone ignores out of fear, opens up to her and shows her that she isn't alone, and gets pretty close to her kinda thing. Really good, Worth a read.

Uh, Ione Skye is NOT her husband. Ione Skye is ACTRESS in 'Say Anything' - that entry does not refer to Sarah's husband at all.
