Moon by Aaron Ehasz, Melanie McGanney Ehasz
1.0
This book does not do a good job of standing on its own.
The entire book felt juvenile and immature, with a narration that jumped from character to character without letting me get a good feel for any of them, and many plot twists that were thrown into the story without any enough setup.
All in all, unless you have a reason for wanting to read this book specifically, I’d recommend choosing a different read.
