Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen

In Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen, Ruby lives in a complicated world where her mother is missing and the sister she has not seen in ten years has to take care of her. All of a sudden she has to move to a different school with different people and a possible different future than the one she had in mind. The only person who talks and listens to her is the popular boy, Nate, who is now her next door neighbor. He seems to get her even in the middle of all the madness in her life could it be that it is because he has something to runway from to?

This book can really be enjoyed by many people it will win your heart over and make you stop and appreciate things. I enjoyed it because like many other books it is a boy meets girl but with other things in the middle. I recommend it to girls like me in middle school ot high school. It will be fun to read and keep you guessing.

Ruby has lived on her own in her little yellow house for months and no one has noticed. Until one day, she is dragged out of her life and put into a new one with her sister Cora and her husband Jamie. Ruby has not seen Cora in years and their relationship is broken by an incident regarding their mother, who hardly took her role seriously. The novel follows Ruby through her new life and her relationship with the boy next door that reveals more about herself than she knew.

Opinion: This was a great read. I liked that this book was centered around teens and teen lifestyle, but didn't feel cheesy or kitschy like most young adult novels do. It was easy to relate to the main character. I would recommend it to high school students and older.
