I finally read a Sarah Dessen book and Keeping the Moon was a great introduction. I love coming of age novels and this was one (as a former fat kid) I could totally relate to the main character. Really, anyone who was ever a teenage girl could relate; Dessen's writing is beautifully evocative of those teen years. It was a teensy bit predictable and cheesy, but that was part of why I loved it - like devouring Judy Blume books.
