When my friends saw that I was reading Keeping the Moon, they all went "ewwww!" and told me that this was Sarah Dessen's worst book. However, when people tell me that, it only makes me want to read the book even more. So I read it. And guess what? It was actually pretty good. It was nowhere near This Lullaby, but hey, the main character deals with very realistic problems of adjusting to a new city (something I'm going to do in a month), and I'm a big sucker for happy endings. Plot summary: Colie has enough problems at her old school already. First, she was singled out for being fat, and now post-weight-loss Colie still can't fit in. She's less than pleased when her mom sends her off to live with her overly eccentric aunt in small-town Colby, North Carolina for the summer. However, Colie's in for a surprise when college girls Isabel and Morgan (plus "art freak" Norman) decide to teach Colie how to totally redo her lifestyle and her reputation. And then when two of the Colby residents closest to her run into complications of their own, Colie has to change her mindset yet again to help them out of trouble.
