It has been quite a while since I last posted. I have been reading a bit more lately since I am done with school for the year. The most recent book I have finished is Sarah Dessen's newest book The Moon and More. The book, categorized as Teen Fiction, is Dessen's eleventh full length novel. Although in my opinion it isn't her best story it does trump a few others. My least favorite Keeping the Moon trails in last place. Maybe Dessen should refrain from putting "moon" in her titles.
The story itself revolves around high school senior/college freshman Emaline who together with her stepsisters and mother work for the family rental real estate business. Emaline's life is picture perfect until her boyfriend cheats on her and she almost simultaneously begins dating "new guy in town" Theo. Emaline's father and half brother come to town and add to the mixed, confusing summer.
As I've already said it wasn't my least favorite but it wasn't in my top 5 list either. Perhaps it's because I have outgrown the genre but after reading her books throughout high school and college I can't help but still read them. I recommend the author to any teenager and anyone looking for a good light beach read. I will almost definitely keep reading any new books she writes but I will keep rereading my favorites.
Next I will write about the most exiting book I've read in a while and hopefully when I finish the book I've been reading for almost a year I can fill you in on that as well.
Until next time keep reading,
