Holy shit. Sarah Dessen just said that she had a "drug problem" in high school involving pot, harder stuff and "dark times."

This makes me respect her more. Whenever I used to read her books about broken homes (although I don't think she comes from a borken home) or "girls with issues," I used to question her ability to accurately portray them given that she seems to come from a very happy, pleasant childhood in freaking Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I mean, have you ever heard of a more picturesque town name? No, I didn't think so.
I'm just kind of shocked but then I don't really care too much because I stopped reading her books a while ago. But I still read her blog due to a sense of nostalgia and because I used to really, really love her. I read Dreamland about 20 times and then moved onto This Lullaby, fell in love with Dexter and haven't managed to escape since.
Moral of the story: don't judge a book by its cover. Har har har. Get it? Because she's an author.
