The Boys of Sarah Dessen Part 2.....The Bad Boys

Not all of Sarah Dessen's boys are gems.  A few of them, although charming they may be, are just bad news.  This is my list of The Boys To Stay Away From:

Sumner Lee from That Summer- He's happy, joyful and always looks on the bright side, but don't let the that fool you.  He's a cheater.

Macon Faulkner from Someone Like You - He's a dangerous, rebellious bad boy and oh so charming.  But he gets a little too mad if he doesn't get his way.  He's the type that will do something super sweet for you one day and then blow you off the next. (totally the guy I would have dated in High School) Unfortunately it isn't until you get to now him that his true colors come through.

Jake Stock from Along for the Ride - Although he isn't a lead boy, he still deserves mention on this list. Jake is a player and a flirt and should be avoided at all costs.

Rogerson Biscoe from Dreamland - At first glance Rogerson seems like any other bad boy you may come across.  But he is so, so much worse.  He has curls that look like dreadlocks and is described as very attractive and charming. But, Rogerson is a drug dealer who is abused by his father. In turn he is then emotionally and physically abusive so it is hard to have any sympathy for him.  He is by far the worst of SD's boys.


Thankfully, when it comes to Sarah Dessen's boys, the good far outnumber the bad!!
