Books written for teenage girls are fails. I read "This Lullaby" by Sarah Dessen, big mistake.
I've discovered that next to Stephanie Meyer, Sarah Dessen is the worst author ever. It's amazing that her "books" can fill upwards of 300 pages, without even accidentally developing a plot or creating a meaningful character. And what's with authors making abusive men seem like the right way to go?
The only reason I put her one notch above Meyer is because Dessen uses big words, like "proximity".
