First read this book in March 2007, after spending my birthday money on a well-deserved treat! Dessen knows how to weave a story that grabs you and takes hold of your heart.Reread this book as part of my course assignment to write an author profile on Sarah Dessen. Her books are so near and dear to my heart, so I didn't need to reread them all, but I wanted to reread this one because it's one of my favourites (as well as The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby). This book has inspired me to start writing a love story that centres around music, although in a slightly different way than Dessen has done it in Just Listen.
