Lock and Key probably is one of my new favorites from Sarah Dessen, next to Just Listen. Well, I love every single book from her and that's 'nuff said! But Lock and Key is different from her other books for the face that this is not the typical summer setting she usually do. But it takes place durin...

I read a few reviews before picking up this book. There seemed to have been quite a few mixed ones out there. Some didn't like it, it didn't hold the same Dessen story that people were used to. But I have to disagree with this. From what I have read so far from this amazing writer is that she takes ...

Lock and Key is my first YA coming-of-age book by Sarah Dessen, who's been talked up to me for years. Happily all the hype I've heard was almost dead-on, and I ended up thoroughly enjoying this foray into the life of troubled teen Ruby Cooper. Very much a character-driven novel, rather than plot-ori...

I can see why Sarah Dessen is so popular. HOWEVER, Lock and Key isn’t her formulaic one girl, one boy and one summer story line. I’m probably making a broad/sweeping generalization by saying Dessen girls are trouble or have trouble in their lives, at least the ones I’ve encountered are and do. And D...

Now that I've finished it, I don't like it quite as much as I did at the beginning. Reasons:1. The plot took awhile to really get goi...

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with Lock and Key. My two favorite Sarah Dessen books so far are Just Listen and Along For The Ride . I was expecting this book to be as incredible. I didn't hate Lock and Key, I just won't ever read it again. It was pretty meh. It was just average. While readin...

http://anotherbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-lock-and-key-by-sarah-dessen.htmlOverall, I liked Lock and Key. I won't say it's amazing, and I definitely wouldn't say it's one of Dessen's best.I'm getting a little tired of abusive parents, to be honest. Maybe it's just the book choices I've ma...

I never felt connected to any of the characters, the book seemed to carry the same blah tone all through it, I was actually feeling bored and almost skipped to the back.I hope this is not her best book...

Lock and Key is another of those inspirational novels describing wayward teens learning to adjust to new surroundings and becoming better individuals overall. Ruby’s seventeen, a senior at Jackson High—an inner city, overcrowded and under-funded public school—living with a deadbeat alcoholic mother....
