Ratings and reviews

our friend jasdeep is a loner. she sucks but we love her. Yesterday me and my friend Kim told jasdeep that i was dating her brother, she almost KILLED!!! ME!! lol jk. Then Jasdeep told our friend haleema that she forgot science fair notes at school. Haleema had a cow lol jk. kaiesha and john had a baby. they named him Chase. kaiesha's boyfriend is a read head and he is NOT cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry people thsi is really random and has nothing to do with LOCK AND KEY!!! except that it was really good and the ending was really bad and i dont even know if nate and ruby got back together untill next time from big K and little H

I own a copy of every single one of her books. She someone manages to capture the very essence of each character while tackling situations that every teenager goes through every day. I'm 27 but I still love reading her books. :)

The plot was pretty decent for a teen read. Decent character development and plot line. The major flaw of this book was the grammatical errors. Found a couple missing punctuation marks and even missing words would look into a new editior.
