Book Review
Dessen, Sarah. Keeping the Moon. New York: Viking, 1999. Print.

Colie doesn't fit in. Ever. First, it’s because she was fat. Second, for a reputation no good girl should ever get. And although her mother is Kiki Sparks, the woman that went from 300+ pounds to a tiny waist, it makes no difference at all for what people say about her. In fact, it makes it worse. So when Colie goes to her extravagant Aunt Mira’s house in a small town called Colby, she doesn't expect, well, anything.

But Colby turns out to be something good that she doesn't predict. On a mere coincidence, she lands a career at Last Chance Bar and Grill (where they have the BEST onion rings). While working, Colie meets fellow waitresses Morgan and Isabel, 2 girls that teach Colie what life (and friendship) is all about; along with learning how to appreciate who she is, and who she can be.

 I loved the book Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen! It has something for everyone, even if you aren't fat and don't have a bad reputation. She is a very funny author, and she adds a touch of romance to every book she writes (if that's a turn-on girls?!). So, if your heart desires a book that is close to home, and something that will make you laugh and cry, this is what you should be scouring for!
