48. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

This week, Sania and Teffer review a Sarah Dessen classic from 2000. CW: We spend most of this episode talking about abuse in relationships, and while we don't get too graphic, we do talk about the cycle of abuse and red flags. This discussion may be triggering. We talk about the importance of educating teenagers on how to identify abusive behaviour, and touch on how YA lit can sometimes normalize abusive dynamics - and how this book really doesn't.
