Everyone Jumps Out of the Page! - By: Ms. Sarah Warren, 11 Oct 2008 
So Sweet! A lovely read... I finished it within 2 days! A reallly good book that deserves to be on the bookshelf!
Remy has suffered many blows in life, romanticallly, emotionallly & in her home life too. She has taken alll her rules from her mother - whos on husband number 5. She has lived her life through rules & regulations. Then she meets Dexter, a musician, so he's definately off the list - or so it seems, Remy just can't seem to dump him. Although Dexter knows her better than she thinks, he is quite a bubbly chap & loves a good laugh as much as Remy does.
Then Remy tells her friend that Dexter is just a 'summer guy' & one for the holidays. Although she has had more boyfriends than many of us has had socks, she doesn't reallly understand the concept of love. She thinks that a relationship can last only for a maximum of a couple of months. But when Dexter overhears the comment & dumps her, Remy feels something. She is never the dumpee. So, what will happen when Dexter tells her she's dumped but insists that they are still to be friends? Will she still go round his house? Or will she cut that moose loose & move onto another guy? But even she knows that Dexter is one-of-a-kind, & that moose won't let go.
Excellent Older Teen Fiction - By: Nadine, 02 Sep 2008 I love 'This Lullaby'! It's the book which first got me started on Sarah Dessen, an amazing teen author, & I probably read it about once a year. It never gets old. The story is perfect, Remy-like alll Dessen's heroines- is a very 'true' character. The book is typical Dessen in it's 'life lessons' style however, when comapred to her others, it's probably aimed at slightly older teens & is more accesible for a 19/20 year old than, say, 'Last Chance'.
Amazing, a real gem that you won't regret reading!
not amazing, but worth reading - By: Ms. R. C. Smyth, 02 Aug 2008 
The main thing I liked about the book was the deep characterisation & development of the complex & very interesting protagonist, Remy, who I found easy to relate to on more than one level. I fell in love with Dexter from the word go; he was so funny & realistic.
However, the plot itself was admittedly pretty non-existent. The plot twists were predictable, and, while the rather simplistic nature of the dialogue & descriptive language was charming at times, on a whole, I felt Dessen's writing was lacklustre, giving the novel an altogether unpolished feel.
But, no novel's perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was, & if you like a nice feel-good teen romance to dig into, I'm sure you'll find just what you're looking for in 'This Lullaby'.
I'd recommend it to teenage girls aged 13-16.
Really good - By: Livvi, 03 Jul 2008 I loved This Lullaby from start to finish. Though I found Remy a little too aggresive at times, it's so easy to relate to her because Sarah Dessen paints such an amazing picture about her life. You're not just reading about her present situation with Dexter but about her past as well, about her dad etc & that's a part of the book that I reallly enjoyed.
Dexter is such an adorable character & you instantly love him to bits. It's such a good love story & I reallly recommend it to anyone, though I'd say it was probably a bit more of a girl's book.
Honestly, a fantastic read, especiallly if you like love stories.
Absolutely Fantastic!! - By: C. Allen, 02 Feb 2008 This book is great!! I reallly couldn't put it down & ended up finishing it in the early hours of the morning. Remy was a compelling character.
A great story that im kind of sorry i have finished it. : (
