Sarah Dessen; This Lullaby

Hi again! This is Great Books for Teen Girls! I finished another book a few days ago that I would love to share with you. The book that I read was called, you guessed it, This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. I really thought that this was a great book. To me, it doesn't matter whether the book is well written as long as it has good enough content to hold my attention. But this book, as well as being very entertaining, was also very well written. This book is 345 pages long. I would say that the genre of this book is the same genre of the last book that I reviewed, a.k.a. fiction and romance.

There were a few characters in this book that really brought the book together, Remy and Dexter mainly, but also Remy's friends, Lissa, Jess, and Chloe. Remy, the book's main character, is a hard cynic who thinks that love doesn't exist. Dexter, the only person whose mom has been married more times than Remy's mother (six rather than five) has determined that he and Remy are made for each other, and therefore will do anything to make her fall in love with him. Lissa, Jess, and Chloe are Remy's friends who have unique parts in the book, such as picking up or dropping off Remy if she needs a ride, or giving simple, friendly advice on life.

Remy, whose Dad died before she had a chance to meet him, was a musician who wrote in his last song, "I will let you down." Because of this, one of Remy's rules for dating is NO MUSICIANS*. However, surprise of all surprises, Dexter is the singer in a band. Of course. So, will Remy fall in love with Dexter despite this, and despite other things that Remy has sworn against having in her relationships?

I rate this book 7 out of 10, because it was very dull at the beginning. Get past the first ninety pages or so, however, and you will be sucked in, unable to stop reading until the book is over. This book review is over now please read Great Books for Teen Girls again somehow**.

The book that I am reading currently is Blood Promise by Richelle Mead. It is the fourth book in the Vampire Academy series, which is awesome. I will be reviewing next time the entire Vampire Academy series, as opposed to Blood Promise, because that would give stuff away.

*Yes, she's crazy, because as Dexter says in the book, "Who could resist having a song written for them?" But then again, Remy didn't like the song that her Dad wrote for her...

**Lame rhyme.
