Dreamland by: Sarah Dessen

  

                               I am currently reading Dreamland by: Sarah Dessen. So far, I read how Caitlin's big sister left and their family is falling apart because they are so desperate to find her. The worst part is how she left on Caitlin's b-day, but she loved her sister so much that she left her diary to write on for her b-day. After, Caitlin meets Roger Biscoe and her life totally changes, but he is a drug dealer. Caitlin leaves all her friends too for Roger. Caitlin is constantly hanging out with Roger and tries lead her own path with her  parent's absence because they are so worried to find Caitltin's sister.  Caitlin and Roger gets closer and eventually go out, but that's when Caitlin gets introduced to  the "real" Roger. Roger tells Caitlin that they will go on a romantic date,but instead he goes to another party ... selling drugs. Caitlin on the other hand in Roger's car hearing some sort of music. He acts all sweet and they laugh like it was nothing, but on their next date, Caitlin finds out that Roger sells drugs, but acts like as if it were no big deal. Caitlin forgets all about her friends, but Roger  gets out of control and hits... CAITLIN! 

      Roger abuses her till Caitlin is covered with bruises and she even wears long turtlenecks in the summer, and at one point Roger begins beating her till her mother catches her.( YES!!!) and Roger is arrested. ( Such a happy ending!)
