This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
4.0

This is the second book of Sarah Dessen that Ive read so far. She's one of my favorites because her book are deep & intimate, and you pick up a lot of good advice from her. Her books aren't all about the kind of young love where the protagonist is a shallow teenager, because Dessen Girls are always special. The pace is slow and unhurried, and the stories are usually nice and sweet. This is the kind of books we need these days.

Remy's life is fairly uncommon. I admire her for the brave way she handles things, and for playing the responsible kid at such a young age. She's a girl who's seen too much, and lost all faith in love. I admire how she's planned her life out so when she makes mistakes, they're big and beautiful. And, WOW, Dexter is one adorable guy. This is, like, the turning point of Remy's life. I love every inch of him, flaws and all. It helps that he sings too.

So, to cut it short, really good book but not Dessen's best.
