Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen

Honestly, this should be easy.LOL. I was going over it like 70 times before writing this review, so let's see where this goes.

Summary:

Ruby Cooper isn't an ordinary seventeen year old girl. Her mom abandoned her in the yellow house they were living in, and eventually, she gets taken in at her sister's home. Cora, her sister, used to be almost a mother figure until she left for college one day. Ruby's never seen or talked to Cora since the day she left.

At Jamie (her brother in law) and Cora's house, she meets Nate, and they eventually become friends. Fall in love, even. Until she finds out a HORRIBLE secret about him. Lock and Key is basically a novel about learning that even the most perfect person comes from a checkered past.


Review:

Since Lock and Key was a reread, I pretty much knew the main events. However, since I didn't remember the itty bitty details, it was almost like reading it for the first time, all over again. And I also think that because it was the second time reading it, I was scrutinizing how many times certain words were used. Basically, I was being really hard on it.


Rating: 5/5.


eums (:
