This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Remy is a lot like the other characters we have seen from Sarah Dessen. I am still not sure how she keeps writing the same basic book over and over again but I genuinely like each one. Remy has Daddy issues as well as Mommy issues. Of course there is a dude, but he doesn't really come to the rescue. We often see the male love interest in Sarah Dessen's books come to the rescue of the female lead.

Nothing overly remarkable stood out about this book. I liked the dynamic between Remy and her friends. I would have liked a little bit more with the group as a whole. They have an interesting exchange every time there are together and I think it was a missed opportunity to not have more with the group of friends.

I would recommend this book to Dessen fans. I would also recommend this as a light summer read for anyone who likes a light but good writer.

While writing this blog I am listening to the Rachel Maddow Show.
