Story4.5 out of 5 stars 143
Since her parents' bitter divorce, Mclean and her dad, a restaurant consultant, have been on the move - four towns in two years. Estranged from her mother and her mother's new family, Mclean has followed her dad in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But now, for the first time, Mclean discovers a desire to stay in one place and just be herself - whoever that is. Perhaps her neighbor Dave, an academic superstar trying to be just a regular guy, can help her find out.

GREAT book
This story about a girl finally learning how to get close to people, makes you really think how fortunate you are in life. This book also makes you think about where you come from and what your family is like and how you help them. The main character develops and learns a lot about relations and helps you change to be a better person too.

Fabulous!
If you could sum up Lock and Key in three words, what would they be?
I'm making myself read different genres this summer. Normally, I only read science fiction or fantasy. However, I love this book about this dysfunctional family. I so related! Once I started, I couldn't put it down.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Lock and Key?
Nate rescuing Ruby from the forest.
Have you listened to any of Rebecca Soler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First time listener
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!
