On My Wish List (91)

On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.

Title: The Moon and More

Author: Sarah Dessen

Publication Date: June 4, 2013

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?

So I finally read my first Sarah Dessen book last week, What Happened to Goodbye, and I freakin' LOVED it. So it looks as though I need to do some serious catching up. What better way to do that then with a readathon, right? Good thing there is one coming up on Monday! I have several of Dessen's other books that I picked up for a whopping dollar each over at Goodwill. I think I'll be going back sometime soon to try my luck for more :) Have you read any of her books? Which should I read next?

And what's on your wish list this week? Leave me a link so I can check it out!
