I wouldn't call them the worst. I havne't read Dreamland but I like Lock & Key for reasons you'll come to know once u read other Dessen books.
But the trend is, ppl seem to like the first Dessen book they read a LOT and then whatever follows takes 2nd, 3rd place, etc. It's kinda odd but true.

refreshing to have the main guy not your standard hot, sexy, bruting male! haha |
He's funny and clumsy and easy going and adorable... I just love him. Its on my top 10 list of fiction guys that I love...

Huh? Isn't Owen the one in Just Listen? I thought the guy in The Truth About Forever was called Wes - he's the one who makes all the sculptures right?

Careful there Jenny. Some of us here started with The Truth About Forever and it's our favorite Dessen book. 
I've read most of her books but I couldn't bring myself to finish Dreamland. I just did not like it. At all. I've got a couple books of her's that I
just remember but some others, like This Lullaby, sadly, just aren't remembered that same. Love'd The Truth About Forever, Just Listen, Along For the
Ride, Lock & Key, and... I thought there was another... Guess not. Liked most of the others I read though. They're all great reads, just too much
the same formula.
I can't remember that spoon part very well! So sad... I'm rereading This Lullaby just for that part. It sounds AWESOME!!! (You knew I was kidding,
right Jenny?)

Umm..Nate's from Lock & Key - I remember that cos the guy needed just much rescuing as the girl (unlike other SD books) 
And GASP how could you not like This Lullaby?! I fell in love with that one. That spoon part is adorable
