Quotes
-
“Remy’s voice rings true with realistic dialogue and emotional traumas. Insightful writing, distinctive characters, and a contemporary scene where sex and music rule, compose a melody worth reading.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Sarah Dessen’s characters are always finely drawn and those in This Lullaby are no exception. Remy’s bitter cynicism, the attitudes of her friends and family, and Dexter and his bandmates’ slightly off-kilter world [are] spot-on. Ali Ahn’s narration enhances the day-to-day realities of young adulthood and, at times, conveys a poignancy that is palpable. This audiobook will be popular with fans of realistic fiction and those who enjoy more-than-fluffy chick lit.”
— School Library Journal -
“What is good about this book is the humor mixed with reality, with the honest portrayal of smart, articulate teenagers struggling to make sense of a world of nonsensical expectations. Remy, Dexter, and their friends and families are exasperating, funny, smart, and quite interesting.”
— KLIATT -
“This modern-day romance narrated by a cynical heroine offers a balance of wickedly funny moments and universal teen traumas…Those expecting a Cinderella finale for Remy will find a twist consistent with the plot’s development. Contrary to any such implication in the title, this one will keep teens up reading.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Sarah Dessen’s adventure is enlivened by Ali Ahn’s favorable narration. Her youthful voice brings freshness to the production as she narrates 18-year-old Remy Starr's transformation from skeptic to true believer in love.”

" If you loved the movie 'How To Deal' with Mandy Moore in it, you will love all of Sarah Dessen's novels. The movie is based off of The Truth About Forever and This Lullaby. Also I believe it is also based off of That Summer, and Someone Like You. "
