Actually, anything is great by Sarah Dessen. The woman's an amazing writer, and she's one of my heroes. This is her latest book.

I think I liked Lock and Key. It was a fresh outlook from all the other books, I think. And there were a lot of good, quotable sections. She mastered the art of character in the book and in the rest of her books.

What did ya'll think about it?

I loved this book. It dealt with some heavy stuff, but the author did it extremely well. It also has a bit of a theme of holding on to the past in there, which is something I struggle with daily. Always trying to go back to the way things used to be and not appreciating what I have now (I think most people struggle with this at some point). Definitely planning on reading more books by Sarah Dessen in the future.

I loved this book, I bought it before I even read it. I love her as a writer. This book is a little bit different than her others. I had a really heavy part, but I liked the characters and the writing.

I also liked how it didn't end in the cliche endind of most books. It ended really well, the only proper way for it to end.

Any way I'm going to go buy all of her books when I have to chance.

I loved it! I love all of her books (except I haven't read This Lullaby or Along for the Ride yet). I think all of her books have really strong messages and I can always pull a quote or two from the book!

For example, from Lock and a Key: "But I was sure of something, too: it’s a lot easier to be lost than found. It’s the reason we’re always searching, and rarely discovered-so many locks, not enough keys."

I think my favourite two of all her books are : Just Listen and The truth about forever!

I also loved this book! It was beautifully written. I haven't read any of her other books yet, but I'm planning to.
