The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen

A book review by Kat Seevers

The Moon and More doesn’t contain that much romance. It’s more about change, family relationships, and figuring out who you are in the midst of all of that.  As a general rule, Emaline doesn’t like change, but she’s forced to deal with it over and over again.  I really enjoyed her character because while she’s struggling, she’s still very focused and true to herself.  She’s trying to balance her mom holding on to her -- and not wanting her to make the same mistakes she did -- along with new friendships and her biological father visiting for the summer.  Emaline's character stood out in different ways depending on who she was dealing with.  She’s patient with her mom and sisters, she’s pretty strong with her biological father, she’s tough around Ivy, and she’s trying out a different version of Emaline with Theo.  All of it connects and changes as the story progresses.
