Product Description:
“Ruby, where is your mother?”
Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she’s been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.
That’s how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn’t seen in ten years, and Cora’s husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future—it’s a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give?
Best-selling author Sarah Dessen explores the heart of a gutsy, complex girl dealing with unforeseen circumstances and learning to trust again.

Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen seemed to me, a very deep and emotional story. In my perspective, Dessen's writing is very touching. It has a basic story plot line, but underneath lies something more. It's the type of story that makes you think, long after it is over.
Even in the title of the novel, Dessen adds a hidden meaning. The lock and key symbolism is repetitive throughout the story. It shows how the main character, Ruby, experiences changes throughout the story as she opens up to ... Read More

Lock and Key was an amazing novel. Sarah Dessen has written some amazing stuff yet again. This book has left me speechless.
To start off with, the relationships between Ruby and almost all of the other main characters was amazing. The relationship between her and Nate was wonderfully written, and though it's not something that I have ever experienced, I felt like I understood why Ruby did not want to get too close to him.
The way that everything is described is amazing, also. ... Read More

Whenever Ms. Dessen writes a story of this length, it is tradition that it is a witty, yet touching love story. This time however, the two characters never really find their happily-ever-after, and the whole reason I read this book as because of that. It was a disappointing and altogether unsatisfactory story. Not up to her usual standards at all.

i tryed to get into the book but couldnt. i mean it was bla, nothing really to rave about or complain either. i felt like she was making Ruby more tough then she should be. it was all just prdictable and a waste really. its one of those books you think you know whats going to happen and Oh look it happened. i didnt buy anything she was feeding in the book.
