"It seemed safer to hold it in, where the only one who could judge was me."

Annabel Greene, Just Listen

"This is the problem with dealing with someone who is actually a good listener. They don't jump in on your sentences, saving you from actually finishing them, or talk over you, allowing what you do manage to get out to be lost or altered in transit. Instead, they wait, so you have to keep going."

"Music is a total constant. A song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment."

Just Listen-Sarah Dessen

SYNOPSIS (no spoilers):

Annabel Greene seems like she has it all. But lately, she's stopped hanging out with the popular kids, including her best friend, Sophie, and doesn't ever seem to enthusiastic about anything. Then she meets Owen Wilson, a music enthusiast with anger management issues.

This was my first Sarah Dessen book. She never really disappoints me. This was a prime example. Great book.

"We all used to try so hard to fit in. We wanted to look exactly alike, do all the same things, practically be the same person, but when we weren't looking, that all changed."

Flavor Of the Week-Tucker Shaw

SYNOPSIS (no spoilers):

Cyril Bartholomew isn't anyone's ideal package on the outside, but what nobody but his best friend, Chris, knows is that he loves to cook-and he's good. Chris is the polar opposite of Cyril-handsome, athletic, and rebellious. Cyril never gets too jealous of Chris, until one day when Chris decides he's into Rose Mulligan, the (secret) love of Cyril's life.

This book is really cute. I really liked the way it was set up, and the fact that a guy wrote it gives it some brownie points in my book. The best part is that, at the end of every chapter, there is one of Cyril's amazing recipes.
