Favorite Story Character

My favorite story character comes from the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. The main character's name is Annabel Green, who is a tv commercial and advertisement model. She seems to have it all in her commercials. However, its far from "perfect". Her so called friends are mean to her, because of one dramatic night which put her as the evil, boyfriend stealer. Her sister Whitney had moved back with her parents, because she was suffereing from an eating disorder. But then, her life changes as she meets Owen Armstrong, an anger-management student who is obsessed with music. He is somebody who tells the truth all the time, no matter what. This motivates Annabel to do the same. Both of them start hanging out and bonding which leads her to face her fears, and to speak the truth. This helps her mend her other friendships. The book is not a Christian book, but I think it teaches us a lot.
