What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
5.0

I haven't read many Sarah Dessen books, in fact this is my second book I've ever read from her. But after reading this book I feel like running to my local bookstore and buying every single one of her books off the bookshelf and reading them.

McLean has to be one of the most relate-able characters I have ever read! I mean who wouldn't want to change who they are and start new when they move? I think every girl can see a little bit of themselves in McLean when they read this book and I think that's one of the most important and best parts of this story.

What I also liked about this book is the fact that for once the main character doesn't get along with her mother. I really liked that her father wasn't portrayed as some horrible dad or who never came around and for once it was the mother that messed up. People always expect the father to be the parent you doesn't get along and I don't think its really fair.

The thing I love about Sarah Dessen's books is that they are so realistic. This book really touched me and I honestly started tearing up in a few parts. It's like she knows exactly what to say to really make you feel like she knows EXACTLY how you're feeling.

I can't compare this book to her other stories but I can compare it to other novels I've read recently. This book is amazing, touching and true and I look forward to reading the rest of her novels.
