Keeping the Moon Sarah Dessen Books

Although I've read Sarah Dessen books before (That Summer and Someone Like You) I wasn't seeing what everyone loved so much about them. That is, until I read this book. Keeping the Moon begins at the train station, where Nicole Sparks is being shipped off to her eccentric aunt Mira's for the summer while her mom tours Europe, promoting her tips for weight loss. Colie, as she likes to be called, wasn't what you would have expected from the famous Kiki Sparks' daughter. As it turns out, both Colie and Kiki used to be overweight.

As soon as she gets to Colby, where her aunt resides, she's picked up by an interesting boy named Norman that listens to hippie music and collects odds and ends to create art in his free time. As they pull up to the house, Colie meets her aunt as she's frantically looking for Cat Norman, her overweight feline companion. Everything in Mira's house is marked with a note, such as "WINDOWS PAINTED SHUT" or "ONE LEG SHORTER THAN THE OTHERS". Just about everything in the house is secondhand and broken.

What I loved most about this book was that I see a lot of myself in Colie. She always takes it personally when someone insults her and I'm exactly the same. Aunt Mira, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She will wear a bright yellow dress with purple high-top Converse and ride her red bike through town, buying old broken toasters and have no care what anyone says although just about everyone snickers as she passes by. Since I've been made fun of my entire life for being fat, I understand why Colie has such low self-esteem. It's hard not to listen to the things that other people say.

With the help of some new-found friends and Norman's art, Colie begins to see the person she really is. The ending is beautiful and it just makes you feel like everything is right where it's supposed to be. I couldn't stop smiling after I put the book down. It even made me feel better about myself.

Keeping the Moon Sarah Dessen Books Reviews

Its ok, but its not my favorite by Sarah Dessen. Worth reading if you are a Sarah Dessen fan though )
This book was alright, but it was similar to something I'd read before and definitely for ages 13 to 18 maybe, but it was an alright read.
great read
I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS IN COLLEGE WHO LOVE LOVE LOVE TO READ THEY HAVE VARIED INTERESTS AND THEY ALL LOVED THIS BOOK. THEY CAN STILL REMEMBER WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY FIRST READ THE BOOK
Colie is a former fat girl that doesn't quite feel good in her skin yet. During this summer she is sent to Colby to stay with her crazy aunt Mira, while her mother's tours Europe. There she lands a job at the Last Chance, be friends with twenty something waitress Morgan and eventually with Morgan's Best Friend Isabel. In this new enviroment, she finally starts to let go of her past and the demons that taunt her at home.
Aunt Mira is just great. And Norman will make you let out a sigh or two.
my favorite author. this book is just as amazing as the rest.
Hello!

I think Keeping The Moon is a wonderful book. However, I really like Sarah Dessen's writing style and it may not be for you. Be forewarned that this book contains language, romance, and if you're like me, it may help you see beyond what you did before.

Now I won't say that this is the best book I've ever read and it's 100% realistic because its not and if that is what you're looking for, then you have have come to the wrong place.

Or maybe it will be your favorite book, I don't know.

Regardless I recommend trying a sample before writing the book.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
