Lock and Key


Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen, is a very thought-provoking book. It made me think about the values of family, the interconnections between people, and how I've changed throughout time.

The main character, Ruby, was living by herself because her mom, an alcohol addict, abandoned her. After she was discovered by her landlords, she was sent to live with her long lost sister, Cora. But Ruby didn't want to stay; she wanted her old life back.

The author engages the reader by describing little details and presenting the story right in front of the readers' eyes. So when the readers are reading the book, they will feel like they are living in the book with the characters.
