This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Author: Sarah Dessen
Reading level: Young Adult

Rated 9/10
Raised by a mother who's had five husbands, eighteen-year-old Remy believes in short-term, no-commitment relationships until she meets Dexter, a rock band musician.

MY REVIEW
This is a good book, this is the 5th book I have read by Sarah Dessen and she amazes me with every book. Her books are filled with love, heartbreak, and realness that most other books never seem to possess. I'm not gonna lie Remy got on my nerves a lot with how she treated people but Dexter made the book what it was for me and worth reading. I'm sure most of us dream of a guy like Dexter :). Remy has just graduated from high school and plans to get as far away from her present life as possible. All Remy's life she has never seen true love, her mother marries someone and divorces not too long after, and has started on her fifth marriage to Don. It doesn't help that all she has left of her own father is the song he wrote for her that says he let her down. Remy goes through guys quickly and calls them her seasonal boyfriends, she even has a routine on how to dump them.Then one day she meets Dexter and he pursues her with a passion. When she finally gives in she sees that he's different than any other guy she has ever dated, and she don't know quite how to handle it.
