Not her best...
Lock and Key is not Sarah Dessen's best work. The plot is a bit weak and strange. There is some discussion of drugs and alcohol, but little sex.

good book for people over 13
I loved this book. Actually, Sarah Dessen was my favorite author. I love the books that she writes and mostly i can relate. Either they somehow relate to me or they relate to people i know.
