Hell, I know nothing about this book. I picked it out purely because of the author's name. And when I went home, I hit the Goodreads page, the rating was only 3.6 something stars, I was in doubt, it was not that my average book rating I usually pick up.
Turned out, I fell in love with her writing ever since early chapters of it and I couldn't put it down even when I was eating. This book was not perfect, it has flaws but that's what makes this book hit me and feels like home. Yes, the romance part was suck but the moon and more was not only about the beach, summer, hot boys and romance. Sarah took us deeper than that. She told us about the family stuff and friendship, the awkwardness around it. I couldn't thank Sarah enough on that. ❤
Like I said before, the only thing that bothers me was about the romance.
Seriously, don't hope too much for the romance in this book because it was crappy. This is why I need to take down one star.
The others may say that this book is boring. Um, I disagree with that. Sometimes, you don't have to read something powerful, dark secret revealing in the end, or an unbelievable twist (yeah, I love that also) to say that's formula to make a great book. Maybe sometimes all we need is something common ground, a situation that normal people like us can relate and endure every day?
So I've heard that the moon and more wasn't the best piece from Sarah Dessen. Wow. If I'm already hard attached with this book, I couldn't wait to see what Sarah offers at her other books.
Life is long. Just because you don't get your chance right when you want or expect it doesn't mean it won't come. Fate doesn't punch a time clock or consult a schedule.
Rating 4/5 stars
