Summary:
Megan says:
I found Dreamland to be another compelling novel by Sarah Dessen. Many delicate issues are presented as the psychological whirlwind that accompanies an abusive relationship is told both vividly and with heartbreaking details. This realistic story takes a hard look at the pressures teens face as they enter adulthood, including the feelings of first love. This story may allude conversation with parents about healthy relationships and abuse.
