Dreamland by Sarah Dessen #Spoiler alert

     I recently finished "Dreamland" by Sarah Dessen. It's mainly about a 16 year old girl name Caitlin who's sister Cass, ran away to new york to be with her boyfriend. 
     Caitlin changes a lot throughout the book. In the beginning, she meets this guys named Rogerson who's a drug dealer. Even though she always goes with him when he's dealing, she never did any drugs. But one day when she meets this girl Corinna, who is a chain smoker, she decides to try pot. And she continued smoking pot everyday with Corinna because it made her forget about Cass, and numb the pain of missing her.
     One day, Caitlin and Rogerson go to his house past his curfew. And Rogerson's dad comes in the room and slaps him. When Caitlin see's this part of Rogerson's life it makes her understand him more and become closer to him. 
     When Caitlin and Rogerson were driving in the car, they got into a huge fight, And he slaps her. This started happening a lot. But she loved Rogerson too much to break up with him.
     At the end of the book, Caitlin's mom see's Rogerson hitting her and calls the police. Rogerson get's arrested. And her mom finds a bag of weed in Caitlin's jacket, so she puts her in rehab.
    In rehab, she talks about her feelings with Cass running away, and how she always felt like she was following in her sisters footsteps, so Rogerson was her way of creating her own path.
    "Dreamland" by Sarah Dessen is an amazing book about a girl dealing with her sister running away, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
