Ratings and reviews

Sarah Dessen I can just say is a great author, who shows her emotions on the characters in different ways. I loved how in someways Remy was different from all the other girls you read about that when they fall in love all they do is think about them, and they don't do anything about it. She in a way is like a roll model, and Dexter wow he sounds like not the perfect guy, but that is the point the guys should feel like they can exist in real life, and I just loved them together.

Simply amazing. All of her books have been great but this character is more true to american teenage life than the others. Remy really struck a chord with my younger self. I hate books turned into movies...but I legitimately want someone to write a screenplay for this one.

This Lullaby was amazing. Sarah Dessen, herself, is amazing. I'd ordered Along for the Ride first and loved it, so I ordered Just Listen, This Lullaby, and The Truth About Forever. I'm currently reading The Truth About Forever, and it's amazing. I love writing, and Sarah has inspired me to push myself in my writing. I've recently written two sentences, a 48 word one, and a 56 word one, and this is mostly thanks to Sarah's amazing books. I feel she connects with the characters in her books, which make them even better. In This Lullaby, I absolutely loved Chloe, I could connect to her because I get my boobs made fun of, too. I loved Dexter, too. I loved his clumsiness, it reminds me of my boyfriend, Isaac. He has really messy, curly hair, just like I imagined Dexter with, and he's absolutely gorgeous. I could connect to Remy in her moments with Dexter, I have the same with Isaac, expect I don't deny loving him.(:<3
