Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao

5.0

THIS BOOK MADE ME CRY LIKE 5 TIMES. THE ENDING THE MOST, and I will not say if it was good or bad crying, you guys can find out yourself! But this book was amazing and written so beautifully, especially with all the wise quotes written inside! It was so magical, the other world they are in and the places they visited, my favourite would probably have to be the market in the clouds, it sounds beautiful, I also really loved the village which made stars with people’s hopes, just the concepts written in this book were really fun to read and take in. I feel like this story was trying to give me life lessons in choices, because it started with a choice and ended with a choice, literally! I loved seeing Hana grow as a character and be the one to make an actual choice even though it could be a sad outcome and I loved seeing her and Kei go on this journey together, learning from one another and falling for each other. I write this as I cry. This book got to me, about half way through reading I realised this book was going to make me emotional. But the emotional books are always the really good ones!
