Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen

     Now that Ruby's mother has abandoned her, she's living with her sister and her sister's husband. We hasn't seen her sister Cora since she left for college. Now Cora is living a new life new experiences and opportunities because of her money and motivation. While Ruby doesn't have very much and his custom to "riding solo". 
     Because their lives are so distinct, their relationship is monitored by Cora's husband Jamie. Jamie asked like a border between them and share both of their similarities and differences. He keeps them on the firm level.
     But my question is without Jamie what will happen between Ruby and Cora? What will hold them relationship together without Jamie? How will this affect both Ruby Jamie and Cora and what will it lead to? 
     I predict that maybe without Jamie being the center to their balance, they can work through their issues and become as close as they used to be. Maybe the key to their relationship growing is Jamie letting the beam tip until it finally balances out.

  1. I thought this was a really interesting post! I really like your idea of how one person can hold two other peoples' relationship together.I also really liked your comparison to this idea of a beam with a center of balance. I think sometimes we need to let everything fall apart before it can get better. Really good job!!
