Another Sarah Dessen book I read this summer was Lock and Key. This book was just as easy as the other read but was also completely different. A similarity between this book and The Truth About Forever was that both main characters lost a parent. The main character in this book didn't have her mother die, her mother abandoned her. A mother is supposed to have unconditional love for her child so how could she leave her?! Ruby then moves into her sister's house. She's very against the idea at first and wants to run away but then ends up making friends with her neighbor Nate. They have a kindling romance and it's a kind of a character that when she finally lands the guy, you feel like your best friend just landed the guy of her dreams. This book also has a moment where Sarah Dessen includes characters from her other book, The Truth About Forever. It's very subtle and pretty insignificant but it's still a cool experience to see an author's book have a connection to another one of her books that aren't in the same series. It's sort of like a shout out to her fans that says "Hope you enjoyed that connection, thanks for reading all my books to notice!". Bottom line is that this book was really good and really addicting. It was simple yet great.
