Summary: sarah's biggest fan
Review: omigod, sarah dessen, how do i love thee? let me count the ways. your beautiful books, your witty personality, your southern sayings, it all adds up to an incredible writer (and an incredible person, but i'm promoting the book right now). this book is my favorite, and i read it over and over again. it's wonderful for those times when you feel like the ugliest, unworthiest person in the world, and it allows you to see that we're not really as bad as we think we are. p.s. if you read this book, at the end is a section where they talk about the moon dinner--the moonakiss river, which the character catches the fish out of, is a lovely river on cape cod.

Summary: great book
Review: I really liked this book, it was the first school library book I actually read all the way through. It's good if you have a sense of humour, and can handle a little bit of cursing. It's amazing how she changes throughout the book though!

Summary: A Wonderful Self-Esteem Booster
Review: Keeping The Moon, by Sarah Dessen is a remarkable book. This is a perfect book for teenagers that are going through those awkard years. Anyone that has low self-esteem and low self-respect should read this book. It will help you to like yourself and let others like you in return.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: Isn't this book a gem? I bought several as gifts for nephews and nieces. I've know Sarah since we were the age of the kids in her books and I see much of our childhood in them. Unlike many cases, she's as wonderful in person as her books are.

Summary: This book was Sarah Dessen's BEST yet!
Review: I completely LOVED this book. It was so wonderfully funny and heart-warming... I couldn't put it down! I loved the the character of Mira, Colie's Aunt, who was unique and eccentric. Colie was a wonderful character as well, with a sensitive and loving (more so towards the end) personality. You will LOVE this book immensley! It is terrific and you will not be able to put it down for anything! Buy it! If you loved this book as much as I did, then try Sarah Dessen's other books, That Summer, and Someone Like You.

Summary: A Great Coming of Age Novel
Review: I found this book incredibly absorbing and entertaining. Dessen manages to create a humorous, yet poignant story that made me hate for it to end. The characters and conversations are very believable, and the portrayal of "Girl Night" is hysterical. Dessen provides a touching story without the extreme angst or melodramatics of many coming of age novels. A must-read for anyone wanting to sit down to a truly good book!

Summary: Self-Acceptance, Confidence, Self-Love
Review: Colie Sparks is now a skinny girl, thanks to help from her internationally renown mom who is fitness guru Kiki Sparks. The two of them have come along way from living inside cars and gorging Twinkies. Now, 45.5 pounds lighter, Collie should have confidence. She should love herself and be ready to face the world and its troubles ahead. She's not even close to that point. Colie hates herself and listens to music that hates just as much. She pierced her lip, knowing it couldn't possibly bring her down another rung on the social ladder, being she is as low as she can be. Defenseless as far as wicked and beautiful Caroline Dawes is concerned, she feels ugly and is desperately in need of both a physical and mental makeover. And she thinks her summer will suck. Being her mother is heading off on a summer tour, she's got no place to put Colie, so she ships her off to her Aunt Mira's in Colby, North Carolina. Aunt Mira, an eccentric woman who has grown to not care of the surrounding towns people's opinions of her, welcomes Colie into her home. Colie gets a job at the Last Chance Bar & Grill, where she meets Morgan, along with her seemingly snobby best friend, Isabel. However, Isabel is the one who will give the makeover Colie so desperately needs for she too once was an ugly duckling. Colie becomes a pretty girl, a feeling that's wonderful and new and fantastic. That, along with newfound confidence, much courtesy of Isabel, are vindicating of bad self-esteem. At last, Colie feels beautiful. At last, she can stand up to Caroline Dawes and understands her self-worth. Though this Dessen novel is predictable in areas, I did quite enjoy it. I also wished she'd addressed body issues a little bit more - like The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things so brazenly had the courage to do. Still, this effort is worthwhile and a must-read for any Dessen fan. The characters are likeable - Isabel turns out to be my favorite in the end, while Morgan, with her men issues, seems to have somehow dodged her positive and self-respecting influence.
