finished keeping the moon



I just finished “Keeping the Moon” by Sarah Dessen. The ending was soooooo much better than “Burned”. The ending was an appropriate and mood lifting. Morgan did have a hard time with her fiancé, who ended up marrying a pregnant stripper without Morgan knowing. Morgan found out because she went to surprise visit him. That would absolutely suck, I could not imagine how she must have felt. Her friendship with Isabel went down too, because Morgan became very bitter at Isabel. Also, Morgan distanced herself from Colie. All of the friendships and relationships went through a hard time. Colie has a little thing for this boy named Josh, which hurts Norman. Isabel and Morgan push Colie to realize that Norman is a much better guy than Josh. Apparently Norman has had a not so perfect life, his Father owns car dealerships and Norman did not want to pursue what his Father wanted. Norman told his Father he wanted to go to art school, but his Father said he would not pay. Norman’s Father was really upset, because both of Norman’s older brothers worked in the dealership. Once his Father said he would not pay for his art schooling, Norman left and started on his own. When Colie and Norman get close, Norman makes a portrait of Colie for his project. Norman is very talented and everyone in the little town adores him, because he is so sweet. Anyways, the two end up together. Plus Morgan realizes she cannot keep dwelling and crying over her ex-fiancé. Morgan makes up with Isabel and Colie by dancing to the music. That was the very last scene of the story, which I thought was a perfect ending.
