This Lullaby

By: Sarah Dessen

Narrated by: Ali Ahn

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Once and for All

She’s got it all figured out.

Or does she? When it comes to relationships, Remy’s got a whole set of rules.

Never get too serious. Never let him break your heart. And never, ever date a musician.

But then Remy meets Dexter, and the rules don’t seem to apply anymore.

Could it be that she’s starting to understand what all those love songs are about?

“Remy and Dexter jump off the pages into the hearts of readers, who will wish for a romance like this of their own.” —Booklist

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful book!

It was just okay.

I started this book before and I remember now why I didn't finish it. I understand and can even relate to Remy as a person. I feel like I was a lot like her in high school, but I feel like her personality is almost too over exaggerated. I understand that the author wants to paint her as this character who has a past and been hurt before, but it seems like every few lines she is reiterating the fact that she is not a typical girl/romantic. I never write reviews but I feel like I can't finish this book with how annoyingly anti-relationship she is and how she keeps expressing it over and over. WE GET IT, you don't normally open up and love people, but here is a guy who you are falling for...tell more about that instead of how "tough" you are the whole time.

eh

I love Sarah Dessen, but I hated the characters and narratotion so much I couldn't convince myself to finish it.
