Everyone Jumps Out of the Page! October 11, 2008
Ms. Sarah Warren (Stafford, England)
So Sweet! A lovely read... I finished it within 2 days! A really good book that deserves to be on the bookshelf!
Remy has suffered many blows in life, romantically, emotionally and in her home life too. She has taken all her rules from her mother - whos on husband number 5. She has lived her life through rules and regulations. Then she meets Dexter, a musician, so he's definately off the list - or so it seems, Remy just can't seem to dump him. Although Dexter knows her better than she thinks, he is quite a bubbly chap and loves a good laugh as much as Remy does.
Then Remy tells her friend that Dexter is just a 'summer guy' and one for the holidays. Although she has had more boyfriends than many of us has had socks, she doesn't really understand the concept of love. She thinks that a relationship can last only for a maximum of a couple of months. But when Dexter overhears the comment and dumps her, Remy feels something. She is never the dumpee. So, what will happen when Dexter tells her she's dumped but insists that they are still to be friends? Will she still go round his house? Or will she cut that moose loose and move onto another guy? But even she knows that Dexter is one-of-a-kind, and that moose won't let go.
Excellent Older Teen Fiction September 2, 2008

I love 'This Lullaby'! It's the book which first got me started on Sarah Dessen, an amazing teen author, and I probably read it about once a year. It never gets old. The story is perfect, Remy-like all Dessen's heroines- is a very 'true' character. The book is typical Dessen in it's 'life lessons' style however, when comapred to her others, it's probably aimed at slightly older teens and is more accesible for a 19/20 year old than, say, 'Last Chance'.
Amazing, a real gem that you won't regret reading!
 not amazing, but worth reading August 2, 2008
Ms. R. C. Smyth (Bangor, County Down United Kingdom)
The main thing I liked about the book was the deep characterisation and development of the complex and very interesting protagonist, Remy, who I found easy to relate to on more than one level. I fell in love with Dexter from the word go; he was so funny and realistic.
However, the plot itself was admittedly pretty non-existent. The plot twists were predictable, and, while the rather simplistic nature of the dialogue and descriptive language was charming at times, on a whole, I felt Dessen's writing was lacklustre, giving the novel an altogether unpolished feel.
But, no novel's perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was, and if you like a nice feel-good teen romance to dig into, I'm sure you'll find just what you're looking for in 'This Lullaby'.
I'd recommend it to teenage girls aged 13-16.
Really good July 3, 2008
Livvi (Devon)
I loved This Lullaby from start to finish. Though I found Remy a little too aggresive at times, it's so easy to relate to her because Sarah Dessen paints such an amazing picture about her life. You're not just reading about her present situation with Dexter but about her past as well, about her dad etc and that's a part of the book that I really enjoyed.
Dexter is such an adorable character and you instantly love him to bits. It's such a good love story and I really recommend it to anyone, though I'd say it was probably a bit more of a girl's book.
Honestly, a fantastic read, especially if you like love stories.
Absolutely Fantastic!! February 2, 2008
