SARAH dessen

for the past 3 years i have been reading religiously all books by author SARAH DESSEN. i dated through the summer with Remy in THIS LULLABY. hid all secrets and told only the truth with Annabel in JUST LISTEN. and ran away from the past and into love with Macy in TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER. Sarah has managed to take the characters and highlight their lives so beautifully while making sure that their next door neighbor is the main character in another one of her books. everyone lives in the same small town and hangs out at the same clubs.

I'm just about to finish reading, for the 4th time, THIS LULLABY. this book was a stretch for DESSEN. saying that while she and her usual characters were always very shy and watching life from the sidelines, Remy was loud and took control. not knowing exactly how she could make this character she just went with it and out came cold, hard hearted Remy (until she found love, of course!) Remy's mother had taken marriage and turned it into a hobby while she stood back and decided love didn't exist. throughout the story Remy learns that with love "sometimes, you just have to close your eyes, and jump." and that she did.

if you happen to be strolling by Barnes&Noble pick up her latest novel, LOCK AND KEY.it will not disappoint!
