Something she seems especially good at is creating completely believable characters. Lock & Key was definitely worthy of the Dessen name. I seem to be reading a lot of Sarah Dessen recently, which is great because I love her books. But as she slowly learns that it might be ok to let people in, she also realises that no-one’s life is perfect. A cute, rich-boy type who seems determined to be nice to her, helping her out whether she wants him to or not. Her sister has a different side of the story and brother-in-law Jamie is wildly enthusiastic about whatever he does, including bringing Ruby into the family. After all, this is the same sister who abandoned her with her unreliable mother all those years ago.Īfter a foiled escape attempt, Ruby slowly realises that she might just have to let people in. So while Cora and Jamie don’t seem to mind having her there, Ruby isn’t so sure. Ruby hasn’t seen her sister for ten years, she didn’t even know she was married. But when her mum abandons her completely, the authorities find out and, to her surprise, she is deposited in the lap of luxury – living with her estranged sister and brother-in-law. People, she has learned, just let you down. Ruby Cooper is used to looking after herself. ![]()
