This Lullaby

Sarah Dessen's This Lullaby is on my favorite books list. It's chick lit though; sorry guys!

The story is about a girl named Remy, who has committment issues. Her mother goes through marriages as fast as Paris Hilton goes through clothes. And her dad, a musician who died right after she was born, wrote her a famous song called 'This Lullaby', which features the line 'I will let you down'. This line basically sets the stage for Remy's relationships, and she finds it hard to really love someone. That is, until she meets the amusing Dexter. As the plotline progresses, Remy finds herself opening up to Dexter. Basically, it's a book about learning how to accept yourself before you can accept other people. It's witty, fast paced, and a feel good book that you'll fall in love with as soon as Dexter steps into the scene.
See what the critics said!

  1. I like Sarah Dessen, but I need to take a break from her because her books are starting to run together in my mind.

    I am re-reading the Jessica Darling books right now (I'm on the 3rd one today) in preparation for the fifth, which you probably know is coming out in April. I loved those books like crazy when they first came out, but I think Jessica has become kind of unlikeable as they have gone on. And Megan McCafferty has become a little obnoxious. But I'm going to see the series through!!
