The Moon and More
by Sarah Dessen

Goodreads synopsis:
Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun. He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.

Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.

Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?

Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?

Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

Sarah Dessen isn't an author I've read yet, but I do own one of her books already, That Summer, which I've been meaning to get around to this summer. Although I've not yet read any of her books, from what I've heard, it sounds like I'll really enjoy her stuff, so when The Moon and More was released earlier this year, I added it straight to my wishlist.
Have you read any of Sarah's books before? Which ones? And what did you think? Have you read The Moon and more? I'd love to hear your opinions!

What's on your wishlist this week? Let us know in the comments below, or link to your own Wishlist Wednesday post in the Linky :)

I have read every Sarah Dessen book and the two I recommend most is This Lullaby and The Truth About Forever-fantastic reads!

I have yet to start on Dessen's books but I got one so far and maybe I can get to it this summer.

Hope you get it soon!

Count me in as yet another person who hasn't read Sarah Dessen yet -- but I keep hearing such great things about her books! I'd like to give her a try, soon!
