An Arrow to the Moon by Emily X.R. Pan
4.0

This is a delightful contemporary version of Chang'e and Houyi full of magical realism and young love. Luna and Hunter are inexplicably drawn to each other, over and over again. And while that may seem cheesy in some books, it works for these (literally) star-crossed lovers. I enjoyed the retelling of the legend, with fun elements like Jadey the rabbit and the fireflies. I did sometimes get lost in the many points of view, but the narrators of the audiobook made it enjoyable nonetheless.
