Keeping the Moon was a fabulous book. Once again Sarah Dessen out does herself! I have to say that this is one of my all time favorite books. It has romance, friendship, self worth... everything that makes a great book. I would rate this a 9 out of 10 on a scale from 1-10. Even if I make it sound horrific, I would recommend reading it anyway. It's a quick read and you will not regret it!
Keeping the Moon follows the feel good story of Colie, a fifteen-year-old girl who is sent to stay in Colby, North Carolina with her eccentric Aunt Mira. Colie has never fit in much. At first it was because she was considered fat. Then she and her mom lost the weight and it was because she had a reputation she didn't deserve. When she arrived in Colby she had already convinced herself not to expect much. Why would this be anything different from home? She was also not looking forward to staying with her crazy Aunt Mira. In the first few days of her trip Colie lands herself a job at the Last Chance Bar and Grill. Here she meets Isabel and Morgan, two best friends who are about to teach her the meaning of true friendship. In North Carolina Colie finds the strength to appreciate and accept herself, two new friends, and a guy named Norman. What else could she ask for?
