Lock and Key - Sarah Dessen

Ruby was just fine living by herself. When the Honeycutt's, her landlord, found her living by herself, however, they thought the opposite. When they found out that her mother was gone, they called Child Protective Services and Ruby was sent to live with her sister.

Ruby has not seen her sister, Cora, since she left for college many, many years before. Cora had not tried to contact Ruby or anything.

However, living with her sister brings back some old memories, and Ruby finds out that all may not be as it seemed living with her mom...

Lock and Key was an amazing novel. Sarah Dessen has written some amazing stuff yet again. This book has left me speechless.

To start off with, the relationships between Ruby and almost all of the other main characters was amazing. The relationship between her and Nate was wonderfully written, and though it's not something that I have ever experienced, I felt like I understood why Ruby did not want to get too close to him.

The way that everything is described is amazing, also. During the book, I felt like I was there, standing right next to Ruby, living her life with her.

I can't even tell you how good this book was - it's something you have to experience for yourself. If you haven't read Sarah Dessen before, I would definetly recommend this one. However, my favorites are still Just Listen and This Lullaby. :)
