Welcome the newly crowned GMA YA Pick for April, Sarah Dessen, and her latest gem, Change of Plans! A true YA icon, Sarah continues to prove why she’s considered royalty. I was so excited to chat with her about this heartfelt, perfect-for-summer read—packed with all the essentials: romance, friendship, family, and so much more.
We talked about her journey into YA, her connection to her readers, and the incredible impact stories like hers can have on young audiences.
I say it all the time—we’re living in a standout era for YA, and Sarah has been helping shape it from the start. I loved this conversation and left it feeling so grateful that authors like her are continuing to raise the bar and inspire the next generation of readers.
