So last week Saturday I started Dreamland by Sarah Dessen and I actually finished it yeterday. I read every single night..it was crazy! I got really into this book and just couldn't put it down! I'll explain what this book is all about...
The book starts off with this girl named Caitlin. She wakes up on her birthday to find out her older sister, Cass, had runaway with her boyfriend to New York. Cass was the typical older sister who was perfect at everything. Caitlin had always lived in her sisters shadow. Well anyways, Caitlin decides to join the cheerleading squad with her best friend Rina. After one of the football games Caitlin and Rina were at the gas station before going to a party and Caitlin runs into this guy named Rogerson. He ended up going to the same party as Caitlin and a few days after that they went out on their first date. After that they were inseperable. Although Rogerson used and sold drugs Caitlin quickly fell in love with him. At first things were great between them, but things quickly went downhill. One night Caitlin went to Rogersons house for a party his parents were having. They got there an hour late and Rogersons dad took him into another and hit him right in front of Caitlin. From then on Rogerson began to show his true colors. Rogerson began to hit Caitlin whenever she was late for something or just got on his nerves. At first he had just slapped her but as time went on the hitting got harder and the bruises got bigger. Caitlin loved Rogerson despite this and hid everything from her paretns. She withdrew from all her family and friends and spent all her time with Rogerson. So one afternoon Caitlin went with Rina somewhere and when she arrived home later that night she found Rogerson waiting for her in the driveway. This was also the night of her parents annual April Fool's Day party. Caitlin got into Rogersons car and before she could shut the door he hit her in the face and she fell out of the car onto the ground. Rogerson got out of his car and started yelling at Caitlin and kicking her. Someone from the party saw this and called the cops. Everyone ran out to the driveway to help Caitlin. The cops got to her house and arrested Rogerson. Caitlins parents put her into a rehab facility to get help recovering from everthing she had experienced.

And that is what my book was about...
