Keeping the Moon

Dessen, Sarah. Keeping the Moon. New York: Penguin Group, 1999. 227 pages. (Fiction)

Colie is a fifteen year old girl who has to spend her summer with her aunt Mira in Colby, North Carolina because her mom went to Europe on a business trip. There she meets two girls, Morgan and Isabel, who became her best friends. They all work at the Last Chance Bar and Grill. Morgan and Isabel help Colie become more sociable and better looking by dying her hair because when she was younger she was fat and nobody wanted to be her friend, and everyone made fun of her a lot. At the end of the book, Colie meets a boy, Norman, who makes a portrait of her. I would recommend this book because it was really good, and I was always wanting to read more of it because it was that interesting.
