really liked it

I was 18 when I read This Lullaby, and it was the first Sarah Dessen novel that I had read. To this day, it is still my favorite book by Dessen.

The main character Remy is very relatable to many teenage girls, and even to young women who remember being the way Remy is when they were in high school. Remy's family and friends are a very loveable group of characters and their development is flawless.

There are little twists here and there that carry the book toward the end. It does start off a little slow, but Dessen has a way with words and really knows how to get into the minds of young women and tell their stories with honesty and innocence.

Gemma You said it was relatable to many teenage girls, which i kind of agree with, but did you realize how Remy was already a graduated senior. She was becoming more of an adult and more independent because she was already going to college & many teenagers don't plan on going to college. You also said that her family and friends were lovable, but Don, i believe is the guy who her mother married, becomes part of her family and isn't really lovable. He ends up yelling at her home and her. He also ends up cheating on her mom.
But I do agree that this novel is a really good book & Dessen does have a way to get us more intrigued.

Aubrey I agree, while i cannot relate to Remy, i found myself understanding why she felt the way she did considering the circumstances in her life. And seeing how her relationship with her mom and friends worked, it helped me understand where she was coming from. And it helped me kind of get insight to her and her feelings toward relationships and was honestly interesting to read. She definately reeled me in too!
