![]() And with Caroline the bully, like all bullies, there's nothing Colie can do to make it stop. I think there are a lot of kids for whom, sadly, this bullied storyline really resonates. Despite this, Keeping the Moon isn't a flashy Dessen title, and even though it's nearly 20 years old, I think it's still pretty applicable to today.Ĭolie is exiled to Colby (boy, was THAT weird to listen to in the audio!) for the summer because of her mother's publicity tour in Europe, but after being bullied by her truly horrid classmates, Colby doesn't seem so bad once Colie gets used to it. ![]() I didn't realize this until I read Sarah's 5 fun facts about Keeping the Moon, but this one was the first set in Colby-Colby being one of the key settings of the overarching Dessenverse™ (the other being Lakeview)-and our first introduction to the Last Chance, home of the best fries in North Carolina. Keeping the Moon is like Sarah Dessen on the DL, but it's still super classic Dessen. If you were to ask someone about Sarah Dessen's books, they'll probably lead with The Truth About Forever or Just Listen or This Lullaby or Saint Anything. ![]() Review: Keeping the Moon is not one of Sarah Dessen's "A list" books. ![]()
