Oh goodness. Talk about a tearjerker! From the very beginning, I was totally ready to cry and that was before the real plot even started! At first, I was only reading this before I went to bed; maybe twenty or thirty pages a night. But I got sucked into the book and the characters, and I just wanted to reach out to Caitlin and just hold her. I believe I’ve said this before, but I’m a very, I guess, visual person. Whenever I read something, I always imagine the same situation going on in my life, or in my family and what I would do if it were me going through this. It really brings out hidden emotion if you think about Caitlin’s situation this way. What would you do?I’m so happy this was my first Sarah Dessen novel. It wasn’t too heavy, but at the same time addressed such a serious problem in teenage relationships, and even with relationships later on in life. It’s heartbreaking, but oh so beautiful at the same time.Read more? http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/8505128828/dreamland-review
