Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen (YA Fiction)
by Melanie, entering 12th grade
Colie, the main character, is forced to spend her summer vacation with her eccentric aunt while her famous exercise video mother tours Europe without her. Colie didn’t have any friends back home, and becomes friends with Isabel and Morgan, two girls who she works at a diner with. There’s also Norma, the artist who lives in her aunt’s basement and who also works at the diner.
And the moral of the story is…self-confidence and the importance of friends. Overall it was well-written and provided a quick entertaining read. If you’re a fan of Sarah Dessen, it’s another great novel by her.
