Relation In Pursuance Of Books Lock and Key
Ruby, where is your mother?Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she's been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.
That's how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn't seen in ten years, and Cora's husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future; it's a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give?
Best-selling author Sarah Dessen explores the heart of a gutsy, complex girl dealing with unforeseen circumstances and learning to trust again.

Typical Sarah Dessen fare - fervent, fluffy, and full of superbly developed characters. This one was not her best, but still extremely enjoyable and well worth the time reading it.The book revolves around Ruby, a seventeen-year-old girl who had been living with her mother, until she is abandoned when her mom walks right out the door.

Reaffirms why Dessen is a favorite of mine... she can tell a good story and make you care about the characters. Well worth it.
This book ended up being so heartwarming that I'm still not over it!
[Audiobook from OverDrive]I always love the narrations of Dessen books! Especially when she does Jervais' voice. Ahaha! Main Character: It's always refreshing to have a main character who isn't a middle class white girl. Yes, her sister and brother-in-law are definitely better off, but it's nice to hear a perspective that comes from being raised in poverty.

That makes it easy to fall for the protagonists incredibly fast and deeply. The unfortunate thing about Sarah Dessens books is that if you summarize them, you realize they are not very original. With her, the originality is not in the main plotgirl who moves
