Commentary Concering 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: 5 STARSThis Lullaby is my favourite Sarah Dessen book along with The Truth About Forever. There is no denying that Sarah Dessen follows a specific formula when writing a novel, a formula that doesn't change too much (if at all) from book to book. But not only does this formula work, she manages to make it work wonderfully. In my opinion, Dessen has a gift, in that she is able to turn simple plots into beautiful and deep stories that work when in the mood for an entertaining, light, funDefinitely not my favorite Sarah Dessen book, but I still enjoyed, especially the second half. It was a light and fun read, with an easy to read writing style.The story follows Remy. She just finished school and is going to collage in the fall, so she isn't looking for a serious relationship. Her mother has been married countless times, so Remy doesn't believe in love anymore, seeing how her mother's marriages fail every time. Then she meets Dexter. He is the total opposite of every guy she has
Sarah Dessen's books always leave my heart feeling so full. I loved Remy's cynicism, Dexter's optimism, the idea of taking risks and opening up yourself to every opportunity. Such a great story!
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
MAY 2016:Went into this expecting a DNF, but it's become a favourite??? Full review to come...DECEMBER 2019:I just noticed my "review" from the first time I read this book... Oops. I love this novel. It's one of those books you can just pick up and fly through. I'm really busy and stressed at the moment yet I still had the time and mind to read this book -- it's like putting on a good film; it doesn't require much effort and you can just lean back and enjoy the ride. All my love for Remy and
To truly live life is to always make risks. Im a living testimony to this philosophy or more like a fact of life. But to a cynic, everything has measures, standards and requirements. Things have always to be in control because a step to an unknown direction will lose the balance that one keeps or at least hopes to maintain. To Remy, the main character in the story, her lack of faith in relationships and love is reasonably based on her own personal experiences, on what she has witnessed all
Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. Most people did not like reading about Remy, the heroine in this book mostly because shes so cynical about relationships that shes actually keeping tables and graph to when a relationship is going to end. I mean you cant blame her for losing
