"Lock & Key" is Dessen at her best. The story follows Ruby, who is forced to move in with her older sister after their mother abandons her. She's guarded and a little bit broken from the experience, but in her new home, she slowly begins to heal. This book packs an emotional punch as it explores all of the ways a family can hurt each other, then put each other back together again.
