In some parts of the world this novel is entitled Last Chance so in an attempt to be embracing I will tags and categorise it with Last Chance as well as Keeping the Moon.Ĭolie 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. Keeping the Moon is an eye-grabbing narrative that I recommend to anyone who loves to read contemporary-realistic-fiction, to anyone who is ready to learn another lesson from another person’s experiences, and anyone is ready to loose them self in the world of a Colby summer.The people have spoken (well, all eleven that chose to vote) and the fourth book covered by the Sarah Dessen Diarist is Keeping the Moon. Initially, Nicole learns to always be herself. Most importantly, Dessen used Nicole point to the importance self-respect. Keeping the Moon is a perfect example of how friends can help you find the strength you need.Īnother theme Dessen touches on is how stereotyping can leave deep scars that don’t heal easily.
One of the life lessons I’ve learned from reading this novel, is that when knocked down, you can and need to find the strength to get back up.
I loved Keeping the Moon because of its layered narrative and heart wrenching plot. After loosing over forty pounds and gaining a false reputation, Nicole, chased by the spirit of her lost weight and false reputation, begins to give up on herself. Two other characters I admire are Isabel and Morgan who become the sisters Nicole has always wanted. To her surprise, Nicole finds work at the Last Chance Bar and new friends in Norman an artist, who helps her realize that she’s not the only one who’s been hurt. The moment Nicole sets foot onto the train will to take her to her artistic Aunt Mira’s house, she’s pushed into a life changing journey.
