2013 book 164

Sarah Dessen's The Moon and More
I have generally really liked all of Dessen's books, but since I am officially OVER YA romances, was kind of dreading this one. And then! It's NOT a YA romance! I mean, there is romance, but it's not at all the focus of the book, really. It's about a girl in Dessen's fictional NC beach town, whose family runs a local vacation rental company (I found all these details hilarious, having just returned yesterday from a vacation spent in a similar rental house), enjoying her last summer before leaving for college, and dealing with her fairly complicated family life. And annoying tenants, including a woman filming a documentary on a reclusive artist. Anyway. Very enjoyable. A-.
