What the critics say
"Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might—miraculously—mean taking a solid leap forward. Is there anyone who can write about what matters most to teens as well as Dessen can? I sincerely doubt it."—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling novelist of Leaving Time and My Sister’s Keeper
"A quiet marvel."—LA Times
"The novel’s strengths—how it unpacks the perplexities of guilt, friendships, and family dynamics—are what readers will remember."—Boston Globe
"Sarah Dessen is the patron saint of realistic romance. . . we think Saint Anything might be one of her best ever."—Justine Magazine
