While Sydney avoids his phone calls-they have nothing to say to each other, and he won't let her come visit-she tries to accumulate to her new public school, where she transferred to from her swanky private one after her brother's accident and sentence. Despite the fact that her brother Peyton's been on a train just waiting to wreck, her parents-namely, her mother-seem relatively shocked that Peyton is in jail. Sydney Stanford has sort of lived in the shadow of her bad boy brother, who's currently in jail after he did something horrible while driving drunk (spoiler alert: he hits a kid and puts him in a wheelchair for life). You either will or you won't, and for Saint Anything, well. And when you have a favorite author, you have this expectation and hope when you read one of their books: that you'll love it. (Could you imagine a Sarah Dessen novel that was solely focused on romance?! I WANT ONE.) That said, Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors. I don't love all her books, and I prefer the ones that have more romance over the ones that don't. My love for Sarah Dessen's novels began when I was a freshman in high school and I read This Lullaby (my second favorite novel of hers, with the first being Along for the Ride), and since then I have read all of her books (except for The Moon and More, which I have yet to finish). I was eager to read Saint Anything since I first heard about it solely for the fact that it's a new Sarah Dessen novel.
