- Keeping the Moon was over the moon!
Keeping The Moon by Sarah Dessen was a very interesting book. Colie Sparks is the main character and her famous mom, Kiki Sparks, is a weight loss trainer and inspiration for fat people. They used to be very fat and Colie was very unpopular, until her mom rear ended another car and the lady gave Colie's mom a job there! But then her mom goes touring in Europe and she has to go stay with her Aunt Mira in North Carolina where she still isn't very popular. There she meets Norman a boy she never thought she would like but in the end they like each other, and Isabel and Morgan two fellow waitresses at the "Last Chance" where Colie got a job. But in the end she is confident and is going out with Norman. This is a great book!! I thought how everything worked out was really interesting!!!

After years of curling up on herself inside her weight she becomes her school's pariah, suffering through without friends, her only acquaintances more likely to hurl insults at her than anything else.

This all begins to change when she goes to the beach for the summer, staying with her overweight and eccentric aunt who doesn't appear to care that she's ostracized from her own community. With her summer come three ... Read More

- Worth it
Before I read this book, I lent it to a friend with a similar taste in books. She returned it after attempting to read it many times with the reason that it bored her. When i read the book, it did seem to drag on at some parts, but it is a very good story that shows one teenagers change in appearance and attitude.
