Edwards Award for her contributions to YA literature, as well as the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. Sarah Dessen is the winner of the Margaret A. Simple, classic romance wrapped up in an easy-to-read but still impossible-to-put-down package. And as their relationship develops, Emaline finds herself questioning her own goals, values, and choices in this classic Dessen romance. Like most Dessen novels, The Moon and More is really a feel-good book. Emaline and Luke are high-school sweethearts in the small beach town of Colby.

Emaline knows he's not her type, but she can't help feeling drawn to him. The Moon and More is the first Sarah Dessen book I’ve ever read (don’t hate me) and given all the hype I’d seen about this book and all of her previous books on other book blogs and Goodreads, I was convinced that I was in for a really great romantic read however, I was sorely disappointed. All the components you love are there, but this story is about Emaline and Emaline only. With The Moon and More she wrote a different kind of novel. He's a city boy who's come to Colby as the assistant to a high-strung documentary filmmaker who's in town to profile a reclusive local artist. Sarah Dessen is a magician with beautiful, clean, innocent, but meaningful romances set in Colby, the calm, beach town that swells during tourist season. During this, her last summer before college, Emaline meets Theo while working for her family's rental business.

Emaline is a Colby native, and so summer at the beach for her means hard work and a new population of beach goers.

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Once and for All In her eleventh novel, Sarah Dessen returns to the beach town of Colby, setting of some of her best-loved books.
