Explanation During Books This Lullaby
There is an alternate cover edition for this ISBN13 here. When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn't mess around. After all, she's learned all there is to know from her mother, who's currently working on husband number five. But there's something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy's rules. He certainly doesn't seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can't seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy's starting to understand what those love songs are all about?Rating About Books This Lullaby

man oh man there is nothing better than a good sarah dessen binge read in the summer.this book is Especially good, because it's pret-ty different from the typical dessen. it's a kinda bad girl protagonist!!! who knew that was even possible?? didn't we all think that the female main characters that populate sarah dessen books just came in barely-varying flavors of Vanilla.remy is a bit o' a badass - she dates around, she smokes sometimes, she drinks underage (gasp!). basically she's a much moreI actually wasn't going to write a review for this book but I simply cannot leave my thoughts for it uncovered. I cried three times while reading the book and that is a rarity. Big time. The story was so believable and the characters were just as believable and inspiring. Also, Sarah Dessen has a way of words that leaves you speechless. No one could 'philosophize' about life and love and family the way she does. I immediately realized how modest and incredible she is as an author and I hope to

This lullaby is only a few wordsA simple run of chordsQuiet here in this spare roomBut you can hear it, hear itWherever you may goI will let you downBut this lullaby plays Remy doesnt believe in love. Her mothers fifth marriage only encourages her to stop believing in the nonsense. To her, love means having fun with guys, making sure that they know the relationship wont last long, and leaving before things get complicated. No worries. No entanglements. The no-strings-attached rule has worked
Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you. I really enjoyed this book, I feel like it was much better compared to The Moon and More. My marathon for Sarah Dessen books is going really great and I haven't been in a Reading Slump so I am really happy! I loved this book although I was expecting more for the ending. So many people recommended that I should read this or Just Listen and those two are my favorites, along with Along for
Rating: 5 stars :)Original Rating: 4 starsOriginally read: May 2014Reread: July 2016I bought this book on a whim at a secondhand bookstore and re-read it in one day. I just adore this wonderful book. Even though it semi-follows Dessen's signature plot line, it was also written early enough in her career that there were enough elements to differentiate it from the bunch.When it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs.Remy has been through a lot in
I was 18 when I read This Lullaby, and it was the first Sarah Dessen novel that I had read. To this day, it is still my favorite book by Dessen.The main character Remy is very relatable to many teenage girls, and even to young women who remember being the way Remy is when they were in high school. Remy's family and friends are a very loveable group of characters and their development is flawless. There are little twists here and there that carry the book toward the end. It does start off a
