When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn't mess around. After all, she's learned all there is to know from her mother, who's currently working on husband number five. But there's something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy's rules. He certainly doesn't seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can't seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy's starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

My Review:
After having This Lullaby recommended to me by so many people, I decided to pick it up, give it a chance, and see what would unfold. Sadly, I was let down.
Remy has had her slew of boyfriends. Never happy to settle, but rather run through the motions and drop them in the end. It took one summer, a new boy, and her mothers words to change her outlook on love.
This Lullaby didn't pull me in and take me for a ride. I struggled to get through the pages, but tuck it out to the end. Half way through, I knew how it would end. I could predict most all of the event that lead to the last page. For me, This Lullaby wasn't an adventure or a ride that had me begging for more.
Don't get me wrong. This Lullaby was a great book that had me laughing, but it didn't leave me questioning how it would end. I wasn't pulled in and it didn't hold me attention well.
Overall, I would recommend This Lullaby because the content was wonderful and showed how things change, how people change. It just wasn't for me.
Giveaway!
Because I don't see myself reading This Lullaby again,
I'm going to give it to one of my US followers.
