Review:
I enjoyed Lock and Key alot. This story is for teenage girls which is most likely why i loved reading it. I was drawn into the story as Ruby struggles to make a new home for herself. I've never read anything my Sarah Dessen before but this book definitly makes me want to read more of her books.

Quote:
"It's never something huge that changes everything, but instead the tiniest of details, irrevocably tweaking the balance of the universe while you're busy focusing on the big picture."
I picked this quote because not only did apply to her in the book, it applys to real life also. It made me think how in real life how the small things count even when you don't realize it at the time.
