What this book is about
Remy, eighteen, has a rule: keep relationships short, stay in control, don't believe in love. She has watched her mother marry five times and listened to her absent father's one famous song, 'This Lullaby,' about the daughter he never met. Then she meets Dexter—messy, musical, and insistently hopeful—and her rules start breaking down. Dessen's summer romance is warm and character-driven, with her characteristic gift for the emotional logic of teenagers who are trying to protect themselves from the wrong things.
