![]() ![]() ![]() For her 18 years of age she was awfully negative and cynical and I found it very hard at times to remain in her head, because it seemed to me she never took any pleasure in anything, even in her short relationship with Dexter. Remy appeared a little harder to understand and appreciate. ![]() Dexter as the main male lead was extremely likable. They were compelling and understandable and their relationships with each other felt real. The characters were very well drawn in comparison to those in many other YA novels I've read. There was really nothing wrong with this story. Rather, it was a story of a girl disillusioned in love who finally allowed herself to open herself up to an honest relationship with a man. This book is normally described as a super sweet romance, but it never felt like one to me. It has nothing to do with the writing, but this kind of fairly depressing YA chick lit a la Jennifer Weiner is simply not my cup of tea. "This Lullaby" was my first Dessen book and will probably be the last. ![]()
