Between Us and the Moon by Rebecca Maizel

4.0

Between Us and the Moon is one of the most genuine young adult books I have read. This is a wonderful testament to coming-of-age, a brilliant story of a girl who discovers who she really is, and with by adopting one of the sins we hate but make use of anyway - lying. Aspiring scientist Sarah pretends to be more like her elegant and popular sister Scarlett, stealing her clothes and lying about her age. She eventually meets Andrew, who loves her for who she really is, but he is soon spun in her own web of lies. I adored the characterisations of both Sarah and Scarlett, and how their relationship parallels that of Gran and Nancy's. This is a truly beautiful coming-of-age tale, and I highly recommend it.
