This Lullaby is about a girl named Remy. At the beginning of the book, Remy was planning yet another wedding for her mother. She was a senior, and the story mostly takes place during the summer. Her mother marry's men just because she feels like it, like she would want to change her hair color or something. Remy's mother is a writer. She is on her fifth marriage. Remy's father left her mother and her with only one thing to remember. A song. The one hit wonder song was "This Lullaby". Remy was dating this guy, who she wanted to end it with. One day when she was at the car dealer ship asking her soon to be step father some info about the wedding, this guy Dexter came up to her. He would not stop asking her out, and finally she said yes. She thought of him as her summer boyfriend. They had a good relationship, but once again, he was only a summer boyfriend. Remy is a very organized girl, and likes to have everything perfect. Dexter is not very organized, his room and house is a disaster. Remy never considered having a boyfriend like this, but she just couldn't let him go, she actually had feelings for him. Remy was a preppy, popular, pretty girl. All of the boys liked her. Dexter finds out that he is just a summer boyfriend, in a kind of tragic way. Remy accused something of him that he did not do. Remy's mother's marriage was ruined because of it. Remy forgets about Dexter, like it had never happened before. She meets a new guy by her manager at the salon she works at. His name is Paul. He is Remy's perfect idea of a boyfriend, and he wants Remy to be a summer girlfriend too. They date, and finally it is time for Remy to go off to college. I can connect to Remy because she is very organized, likes to have everything listed and planned out. She has standards for everything, i don't really have the same types of standards as her, but i do have standards. I also like to have my room neat, and have things in spots that they are supposed to be. Like Remy, once in a while i slip on organizing and planning, but then i get very stressed.
