#I mainly read slice of life romance and historical#Off the top of my head there’s a few general recommendations#Lovely War by Julie Berry#Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan#The Gilded Hour by Sara Donati#Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos#those are some of my favourites#also a fan of The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare but it is a tad controversial#there’s like a second tier of my favourites which are more trashy and written kinda badly#but still neat#I’m a huge sucker for romance books about ladies moving to villages in the middle of nowhere#OH#and A Proper Pursuit by Lynn Austin#and This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen#also a big fan of the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones#big big big disclaimer for that one though#a lot of descriptive torture and sex scenes#Wuthering Heights is also always a good read#So is anything Neil Gaiman#though Stardust and Good Omens are my favourites#I could go on and on about books for several more paragraphs

You know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs.

In 2017 Penguin Teen created totes for the summer launch of Once and For All.
Pastel pink with the famous “Don’t think or judge. Just Listen.” line from, well, Just Listen, these double-sided bags were distributed at Book Con, YALL Fest, and bookstores.
Some gave them away for free, others with the purchase of any Sarah Dessen book, others per copy of Once and For All, etc.
Penguin Teen even hosted online giveaways of the Sarah Dessen quote tote along with similar ones in different colors with lines from other Penguin Teen authors and their books.
According to the sweepstakes the bags are valued at $15, but they were never sold online for mass distribution as far as I could find.
What I did find was an eBay listing with a less than $9 price tag and $3.99 shipping (taxes to be added at checkout).
^^ That is the full tote. The sides have just been folded.

A few weeks after I posted this, Sarah shared an IG story where she used the tote bag.

She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.

It's the nostalgia talking, but real question to all my ladies who were reading Sarah Dessen in the 2000s: which leading lady did you relate to most, and which boy was your favorite?
I related most to Auden and my favorite guy was Eli. I feel like that's not a particularly coincidental combination.
#along for the ride#the truth about forever#on paper I should've liked Nate best but...it was all Eli for me#lock and key#just listen#this lullaby#keeping the moon#dreamland#someone like you#that summer#the moon and more#saint anything#the rest of the story#what happened to goodbye#sarah dessen#auden west#eli stock

for anyone else who is a fan of both “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” and Sarah Dessen books:
i feel like
“WE HATE RICHARD PEELE!”
(from TGGTVAV)
has the same vibes as
“Hate Spinnerbait!”
(from Sarah Dessen’s “This Lullaby” - it’s one of the only things both my roommate and i remember from that book since we read it so long ago lol, but shows you how good/catchy of a bit it was! - and then it was referenced in some of her other books i think)
which made me love that whole bit even more lol
#but really#i laughed way harder at this than i probably should have#tggtvav#the gentleman’s guide to vice and virtue#this lullaby#sarah dessen#karmilleryn original

“I just thought to my self, all of a sudden, that we had something in common. A natural chemistry, if you will. And I had a feeling that something big was going to happen. To both of us. That we were, in fact, meant to be together.”

Ranking Sarah Dessen's Books
I’m going to say upfront that I haven’t read all of Sarah Dessen’s books at this time – I’ve read just over half of her published work so far. In any case, I thought it would be fun to rank those that I have read since I know it’ll be a while before I read all of them (and that’s if I decide to read them all).
8. Someone Like You (1998)
This book fell short for me with what I was expecting from…

I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.

Have you heard any news regarding another Netflix movie? I've been chomping at the bit for a The Truth About Forever adaptation for like over decade now lol
Hi there! I have news but not related to The Truth About Forever.
In her most recent IG post Sarah replied to a comment that there is a script and director for This Lullaby.
No official announcement has been made and, as of the time I’m answering your question, no names are attached to it.

So which dork are they going to modernize from the pop-punk era pick to play Dexter in This Lullaby?
#this lullaby#sarah dessen#netflix#remy starr#dexter jones#don't really care about Once and For All#wish they would've gone with The Truth About Forever#there's a part of me that thinks it'd be weirdly appropriate to modernize everyone BUT him#he's just awkwardly 2004-ing around and gives no f**ks about it
