Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen is a touching book that gives you a few life lessons. Its about a girl named Ruby who believes she can do everything herself and wants to be na independent woman who doesnt owe anybody. This suddenly changes when her mom takes off and she is sent to live with her uptight sister who she hasnt seen in ten years and her nice husband Jamie. Ruby thinks believes this is a temporary thing because she will be eighteen in a few months. That is until she meets a the neibhors son when she tries to escape her first night there.
The way the author writes i kind of dislike, i dont like that she will be right in the middle of a story and then she will go back in time about another character, or how she sometimes doesnt give enough detail on whats going on at the time. with that said i do love how she makes her characters so real. They dont have fairy tale lives with a perfect family but their not totally phscyo either their just normal girls with everyday issues.
