Blue Moon had one of the best beginnings I’ve experienced in a book.
The action sucked me in straight away. Although the prologue was a little flowery and unnecessary, the first chapter heads straight to the action –when Mia begins accepting there may be something wrong with her.
However, the storyline went downhill. Mia’s impulses, although characteristic, contributed annoyingly to the story. Indeed, she was stupid to get herself into this mess –realising every-time she had a physical relationshi...more
I really really liked this book. It was really detailed, so it was like watching a movie in my head. There was a lot of challenges for Mia, but she got through them, even though her dad didn't approve of any of the choices that she was making.

“Lying in their field above the sea, watching the sun go down and the darkness creep over the field so that they were wrapped together in shadow. Will propped himself on one elbow beside her, is finger curling strands of her dark hair until it was bound so tight it pulled her scalp and she cried out, and then he bent over her, kissed her, so,so tenderly, and she thought she would die with happiness. They had made love, the very first time.”

“But once in a while the odd thing happens,
Once in a while the dream comes true,
And the whole pattern of life is altered,
Once in a while the moon turns blue.”
