Remy, a young 18 year old girl, that has absolutely no interest in love or a serious relationship struggles through her social teenage years. Because of her fail to show father, Remy has been missing that father figure in her life that will love and care for her. Remy’s father was a musician, and made a song called, “This Lullaby” for Remy before his fatal death. Remy’s mother isn’t a great role in Remy’s life either; Remy’s mother goes from husband to husband and Eventually Remy picked up the same by breaking up with every boyfriend she dated before the relationship got anywhere.
Although, Right when Remy is about to leave for Stanford she meets Dexter, an impulsive crazy musician like her father, at a car dealership with her mother. Dexter refuses to leave Remy alone and writes his own number on Remy’s arm, but As much as Remy tries to push Dexter away she finds herself falling in love more and more with him. There was just something about Dexter that drew her in. Remy states, “You know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs.” Could it be he was nothing she looked for in a guy? Maybe Dexter was exactly who she needed in her uptight lifestyle.
I enjoyed This Lullaby a lot and it had me in by the first page of the book! A part of the story that was good was when Dexter sang her father’s song, “This Lullaby” to her making Remy feel like Dexter was the most perfect guy in the world. Another part that had me teary eyed was when Don, Remy’s step father, cheated on Remy’s mother. If I could ever change the end, I would have Remy and Dexter broken up and Remy living in Stanford while they both don’t know how to live their lives without each other, but in my opinion Sarah wrote This Lullaby perfectly for teenage minds like yours.
