Ever since she started going out with Rogerson Biscoe, Caitlin seems to have fallen into a semiconscious dreamland where nothing is quite real. Rogerson is different from anyone Caitlin has ever known. He's magnetic. He's compelling. He's dangerous. Being with him makes Caitlin forget about everything else--her missing sister, her withdrawn mother, her lackluster life. But what happens when being with Rogerson becomes a larger problem than being without him?

The hair! The freak-fracking hair! I did not need a reminder twice every friggin' chapter that love-interest boy has dreadlocks. Thanks though.Relationships are essentially a power struggle, a game of manipulations. From important life-altering decisions, to which radio station to listen to. You must decide whether to fight or conform. There are many underlying factors in this novel that make me want to venture as far as saying "it's pretty deep," but I'm almost positive that it's because myTW: physical and emotional abuse. Definitely feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Definitely was not prepared?! I knew it was going to be darker, but WOWZA. Very well written and so heartbreaking. I don't know how else to review it or to add on to that. Just... Brace yourself, and don't be afraid to give yourself a break and eat some pizza and watch something funny/uplifting while you're reading this one. It's an important one, though. Definitely. I'm glad that there are authors out
Like Caitlin, my emotions are all out of whack. If Im not careful, I may even resort to sucking my thumb, screaming at random times and intervals, rolling around on the grass, flopping on my bed, or sticking my feet up in the air and playing dead. Its really hard to say what I might do, and if I tried to pin it down, my response would be filled with conjecture, and I prefer to deal in facts.The fact is I hated this novel. Hated it with a passion, because it discussed abuse, and I prefer to look
Pre-read: Yeah, I'm re-reading this book for this year because apparently I'm on a Sarah Dessen kick from my library. I'm really looking forward to it.Post-read: Dude, I'm still shaking even after I've turned the final page. Much of "Dreamland" hit spot on with respect to the feelings of isolation that Caitlyn felt with things going on with her family and friend circles, and the abuse she suffered just catapulted that strife into the stratosphere. I really appreciated the chance to re-read this.
Wake up, Caitlin, Mr Lensing had said. But what he didn't understand was that this dreamland was preferable, walking through this life half-sleeping, everything at arm's length or farther away. I understood those mermaids. I didn't care if they sang to me. All I wanted was to block out all the human voices as they called my name again and again, pulling me upward into light, to drown. Dreamland was my first Sarah Dessen book, and for some reason I'd always thought she wrote light-hearted,
This book started slow for me, but I definitely got more into it as the story went on. The author does a good job of pulling the reader into Caitlin's plight; I cared what happened next.That said, I had trouble with the way the abusive relationship was portrayed. I've done a lot of volunteer work in this area and abuse tends to happen in a "cycle"... the abuse occurs, then the abuser apologizes/says he'll never do it again/loves on the victim big time/etc. It goes from absolute terror to
This was probably the worst Sarah Dessen book I've ever read. None of the characters are likable except for Boo, her mother's friend who lives next door and she barely plays a part in the story. I expect not to like the protagonist of a Dessen novel but I really hated Caitlin. I was wondering exactly how dumb she could get after stupid antic after stupid antic. I know that she was 'broken' after having her sister run away but the sister was going to be at college anyway. That should have been
