this book starts with a only girl named Rezzmey. She was simply sitting in a car dealer waiting for her futer step-father to come out of a meeting, when all of a sudden, BOOM, she is bumped into a wall by someone who she instantly becomes annoyed with. as the story goes on an amazing love blossoms between the two. this is a great romance and a hillarious comedy. i would recomend this book to anyone who is sinterested in any romance whatsoever

I loved this book. This is a one-of-a-kind love story, not sappy or anything. The characters Dessen crafts are the kind you learn to love from Remy, the strong girl who doesn't open up to Dexter, the boy who's the opposite. While reading it, it's almost impossible to put it down. The characters are the kind you can relate to, the ones you could see as being your best friends. I love every one of Sarah Dessen's book, but this is by far the best one I've ever read. No matter how many times you read it, it never gets old. Whether you're watching Remy change over time or hoping that Dexter and Remy do end up together, the book is just incredible. It's my favorite.

I stumbled across this book at my school library and it looked like a good read, but i was so wrong, it was an awesome read. Remy is a girl afraid of love and comitment, mostly because she doesnt' want to end up like her mother, a five time divorcee and a crazed writer. Her mother is about to get married again when she meets Dexter, a corky fun guy that turns out to be the most loving, awesome boyfriend she's ever had. But she decides to break up with him because things are getting too serious. This book is really great because you can really relate to the characters.

This Lullaby is about eighteen-year-old Remy, who's a romance cynic. Well, wouldn't you be if your mother was on her fifth husband? Remy has a pattern and a schedule with each of her boyfriends: when to go out, when to kiss, when to break up. Then she meets Dexter, who challenges that pattern. Frightened of being attached, Remy ends it. But when she's trying to get back into her regular rhythm, she falters, and decides that maybe love isn't something to be scared of. Sarah Dessen is an excellent author, with believeable heroines, and this book is no exception.

This Lullaby is about a girl named Remy who knows just when to break up with a boy. She is the master of relationships, and she has the upper hand. There is just one summer left before Remy leaves for college, and she doesn't want to leave any loose strings. She wants to have a fresh start at college, where nobody will know her. Remy's plans are all made. She's just gonna have some fun with some temporary summer boyfriends then leave without worries to college. But Remy's reputation of having the upper hand in a relationship is thrown out of whack when she meets Dexter. Dexter doesn't fit any of the criteria on her list of the ideal boy. Influenced by her mom's many marriages, Remy doesn't believe in love. Lust maybe, but not love. That's why Remy is always in control. But with Dexter, it's different. She doesn't know why she was willing to break the rules for him. One of her friends tell her it's love, but Remy doesn't know if she's willing to take the chance. She's too afraid of being hurt.

I thought this book was really good. Remy is a girl who has strict rules about guys. She knows exactly when it's time to break it off. It was good to see her break her rules for Dexter to find out that she did it because she loved him.

Just like all Sarah Dessen books, (my personal favorite author), she writes about life from a realistic point of view from young girls. She makes it the story come to life as if you were the character, and makes you understand all the surroundings.

Remy doesn't believe in true love. She only believes in short term relationships, because her mother has been remarried so many times. She then meets Dexter who turns her veiws of love around, by breaking all her rules.

I loved this book!!! Sarah Dessen is the most amazing writer, and she writes about things that really matter to teen girls.

Remy is an 18-year old who doesn't believe in true love. Her mother has been remarried so many times that Remy only believes in short term relationships. This is until she meets Dexter who is determined to turn her views on love around. Dexter breaks all of her rules; 1.no dating musicians (he's in a rock band) 2.absolutly no eating in her car, etc... I love this book so much. I would recomend it to anyone who likes love stories.

Many would say Remy is cold hearted, but I think differently. Remy doesn't believe in love patially because of her mother's marriage count (on her 5th) and also because of her father's abandonement. She is a compulsive dater, breaking off boyfriends before it comes to the stage where she gets too attached and might get hurt. So it's surprising to Remy, but not to the readers, when Dexter, a klutzy, cute, band boy, bumps into her life. Dexter is everything Remy despises, unorganized with the complete package. So why is Remy actually considering hooking up with him and moreover not applying her rules to him. Will he send her running, or will Remy finally discover that the love that is imprinted in those songs and romance novels her mom writes truly does exist?

Sarah Dessen writes with passion and writes what teens truly feel, not depending on the readers certain reaction to her books but depending on the readers reaction overall. She doesn't write what we want, which is true happiness, but writes what we will feel in the situations Remy gets sruck in.
