Have you ever had those times when you just know something's going to come back...
but it seems like it never will?
My pick for this month is Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen.
For this cold month, I would suggest something like this summer book to keep with me. It's called keeping the moon for one reason and that's mentioned inside of the book, just once, but enough to be significant.
Summary: Colie expects the worst when she's sent to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt Mira while her mother, queen of the television infomercial, tours Europe. Always an outcast -- first for being fat and then for being "easy" -- Colie has no friends at home and doesn't expect to find any in Colby, North Carolina. But then she lands a job at the Last Chance Cafe and meets fellow waitresses Morgan and Isabel, best friends with a loving yet volatile relationship. Wacky yet wise, Morgan and Isabel help Colie see herself in a new way and realize the potential that has been there all along.
This book like most of Dessen's others has a major theme of change. It can be that drastically optimistic or depressing. I think this book gets straight to your feelings even in the first few chapters.
I think this book focuses real well on some hard life for people. It's friendship that keeps many things in tack. Hold onto hope, is the message that this book screams to me.
If you decide to read the book, leave a comment on what you thought about it.
