Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen - Restarting September 8th 2019

[Princess]

Me and Hannah will read this. Feel free to join. :)

[Hannah]

Cant wait! I started it a while back but sadly my ebook was a messed up copy so didnt get far and been wanting to finish it ever since!

[Sush]

I would love to!

[Princess]

Who's reading it guys ? :)

[Hannah]

I am about to start it here shortly :)

[Princess]

same :)

[Hannah]

I read the first 2 chapters so far :)

(view spoiler)[
I hate to see that what Colie and her mom had kind of fell apart with the fame :/..

I would probably fear for my life if i got in a car like Normans lol with all that stuff in there id think he was crazy or something at first.

Haha Cat Norman.. Thats great..

Wow i dont like this Isabel girl.. You would think she would know how to keep her mouth shut O.o that was really uncalled for no matter how bad it all may have looked.. (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Can I join?

[Hannah]

Of course Victoria :) happy to have you with us!

[Sush]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Seems like it's going to be a looong summer (hide spoiler)]

[Sush]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ Her aunt just sounds eccentric. I thought there'd be more of Norman. Not cat Norman, but Norman from downstairs. Isabel seems like a bad but not evil person (hide spoiler)]

[Sush]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ Post its' everywhere? HAHA. I was right, her aunt is epitome of eccentric, but she seems nice.

So it's clear that Norman and Colie aren't very similar! She says she's not interested in him, I don't think that the case. (hide spoiler)]

[Sush]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Why doesn't her aunt get any new stuff instead of using the broken stuff she has at home?
(hide spoiler)]

[Sush]

Finally finshed!

[Hannah]

I am half way through and finding it kind of slow and and with not much to really talk about lol.. Its getting a little better now i guess..

[Sush]

I found the whole book extremely slow. This is probably my first and last Sarah Dessen book

[Hannah]

It was!! I just finished it.. This is my second and possibly last Sarah Dessen book myself..

Heres my review.

[Sush]

Yay!

[Princess]

i finished the book but I'll probably post my thoughts when I get home cause I am currently on vacation.

[Hannah]

Ok :) looking forward to discussing it further with yall!

[Princess]

I will just put a run through of my thoughts:

This is my 5th? Sarah Dessen and her same element and plot is getting tiring.

(view spoiler)[ I think I will be the only one who will say that I like Isabelle, she seems real to me and she's not afraid to voice out her thoughts. (hide spoiler)]

I agree this is kinda bland but I hope you will not give up on Sarah Dessen. I like Dreamland, Someone Like You and Along for the Ride so you can check that out :)


Overall, (view spoiler)[ My thought for this book is. . it is disappointing and pointless (hide spoiler)]

[Hannah]

Ive read along for the ride, it was actually my first book by her and it was pretty good! Gave it 4 stars...

i probably wont give up on her simply because shes my best friends favorite author so im hoping something good will come of reading her books if she thinks so highly of her.

good to hear. She's one of my favorite actually

[Hannah]

Im just disappointed that this one was such a flop. Specially since it didnt leave us much to discuss lol. I hope "This is what Happy looks like" is better for discussions.

[Princess]

yes! nothing much happened in this book so I'm really looking forward for This is what happy looks like

[Shae]

is anyone still reading this?

[Natalia]

@Shae I'm starting it today

[Maddie]

@Shae: I'm reading it eventually this month.

[Natalia]

10% (view spoiler)[ So far the book is a bit slow (hide spoiler)]
40% (view spoiler)[ I like Isabel, at first she seemed cold and distant, but now I'm starting to like her, definitely more interesting than Colie (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ I hope that Colie will become more confident soon (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

80% (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Megan she obviously really likes this guy, buy it's also obviously not going to work out (hide spoiler)]
90% (view spoiler)[ Her relationship with Norman seems a bit forced and unnecessary (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Uh oh another hater for this book. I hope I like it.

[Shae]

10 % (view spoiler)[ Yes it is a bit slow! I did like the premise initially of her mother and her once being overweight and then losing weight and her mum becoming a motivational speaker. I hadn't heard that before! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

40% (view spoiler)[ Yeh Colie isn't very interesting. I struggled to connect with her throughout the story. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Morgan (view spoiler)[ I did feel bad for Morgan when her fiancé cheated on her with a stripper! That sucked ! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

caroline (view spoiler)[ I really did not like her! Especially how once she didn't have Colie's weight to tease her about, she spreads rumours about her being a slut. I hated how she kept trying to interfere and ruin any aspect of Colie's life! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I didn't really like this book as I felt it didn't really have a plot line and kind of just dragged on! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

So far it's ultra boring. Nothing much is happening yet, and I'm halfway through!

[Maddie]

50% (view spoiler)[Just reached the part where Isabel told her to be confident. I feel like stuff's about to get good! I really hoped that Isabel would go and give Caroline shit for what she said, but this could be better! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Natalia wrote: "80% [spoilers removed]
90% [spoilers removed]"

80% (view spoiler)[I mean I still feel bad for her, but what did she expect would happen? I'm so pleased she ended up breaking up with him. Even if it happened badly. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Shae wrote: "caroline [spoilers removed]"

Always a character like that in a book though.

[Maddie]

Shae wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I agree. Boring.

[Maddie]

What did I gain out of this book? Absolutely nothing at all. Super boring. Really overestimated this book. I super loved Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, so I assumed I'd like anything else she wrote, but this really didn't measure up. I'm very disappointed.

This book had no plot, the characters were all totally average apart from Isabelle. Colie only lost the weight because her mother forced her to. It was so clear that (view spoiler)[Isabelle was the fat kid in the photo, anyone would think the same if they saw kid photos of Colie too. (hide spoiler)] Also obvious that (view spoiler)[Colie only liked Norman because of what Isabelle said about him, how he was so good and she didn't deserve him. (hide spoiler)] I really wonder what happened to (view spoiler)[Jack, was that his name? The guy from the fireworks... Did he ever call her? (hide spoiler)] This book was just bleh. Pleased it isn't a series.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[lllzreads]

So this is our thread

[Kaća]

hiii!

[lllzreads]

So I'm on chapter three. I had the vibe from Isabel and Maggie that they were in highschool and around Colie's age, because maggie was saying stuff like it was her last summer working there. But then it said she had a fiance, I mean she might be getting married young but I think she is older. Also I think the reason why Colie dyed her hair and got a piercing on her lip is to rebel from her mom because they don't 'connect' like they used to. So she might be using it as a defence mechanism or for attention from her mom. Any thoughts?

[lllzreads]

So I finished the book and I have lots to discuss
