What is Saint Anything about?
Peyton,
Sydney's charismatic older brother, has always been the star of the family,
receiving the lion's share of their parents' attention and—lately—concern. When
Peyton's increasingly reckless behavior culminates in an accident, a drunk
driving conviction, and a jail sentence, Sydney is cast adrift, searching for
her place in the family and the world. When everyone else is so worried about
Peyton, is she the only one concerned about the victim of the accident?
Enter the Chathams, a warm, chaotic family who run a pizza parlor, play bluegrass on weekends, and pitch in to care for their mother, who has multiple sclerosis. Here Sydney experiences unquestioning acceptance. And here she meets Mac, gentle, watchful, and protective, who makes Sydney feel seen, really seen, for the first time.

Why am I waiting for Saint
Anything?
Sarah Dessen’s
books were probably the first YA Contemporary novels I’d ever read. I just have a special place for them. I love Sarah Dessen’s writing – she makes you
feel all warm and fuzzy inside. However,
Sarah Dessen’s books still always have strong messages that really leave you
thinking.
What
are you waiting for? Have you read any Sarah Dessen books? Have you read Saint Anything yet?
This one sounds like a book that I could invest in, seriously. I haven't read anything by Sarah Dessen. I do hope that you love it.

My WoW
Me too! I feel like not enough people have read her books. And you're right - it has been forever since she's had a book out. Thanks :) I hope we both like it!
DeleteI read an ARC earlier this month and have a non-spoiler review on my blog. I have never read any Dessen before this but quite enjoyed it. I can imagine if you are a fan of hers already, you will love this. At least you don't have long to wait.
ReplyDeleteAwesome - I'll definitely check it out! I'm glad you liked it. I'm sure I'll really love this one and I can't wait to read it. Yes - it's coming out very soon.
DeleteYou said it perfectly! Sarah Dessen will always be one of my favourite authors! Everything she puts out always gets me thinking on a deeper level and I love it!

Thank you :)
DeleteShe really makes you think about deeper issues, but not in a way that seems preachy or too obvious. I don't know how she manages to do it again and again!
I believe I have read two novels by Sarah Dessen and liked both of them, totally agree that they always leave you content and thinking about the moral of the story. I've seen this one around and am definitely interested in it. Hope you get to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteYes - that's what I really love about her books. I hope you decide to pick this one up! Thank you :)
DeleteI read an ARC of this book and really enjoyed it, I hope you do too :-)
ReplyDeleteA nice WoW! Sharon – Obsession with Books
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
DeleteThanks <3
