Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Taylor

I have honestly never read a Sarah Dessen novel before. I know, thats
embarrassing. For some reason I almost felt intimidated by her books
because their so popular. Lock and Key is no exception when it comes to
amazing books.

The story starts quickly, which is a must for me. I HATE when I can't get into a book right from the beginning.

I
absolutely love the realism of this book. I don't know very much about
any of the problems Ruby goes through but it sounds so realistic. The
whole time I was reading I could picture the problems existing. Whether
things were going well or not, the consequences of all of the actions
were well explained. I absolutely love books that are completely
realistic. I hate when the characters in books just get everything all
pretty and perfect. I believe in the struggle.

I absolutely LOVE
Nate's character. He was so much more interesting than most boyfriend
types. He had his own problems that were so apparent right from the
start but he was so genuinely kind that he kept working to help Ruby
get over hers.

The only complaint I have about this book is how
Nate moved away. I was hoping that he would move in with Ruby or
something, not to Arizona!

This book is great and I have an ARC of Along For The Ride that I am soooo looking forward to!

4.5/5
