panThis book is too long and end exactly how you think it will. 2/5
pick5/5 I loved Sarah Dessen‘s books in high school so I decided to try and read a few as an adult. This one I did find super enjoyable even if it is an extremely easy read. Read August 2020
pickLouna is a cynic when it comes to happy endings but maybe she can change after all.
Last one!
pickSo I finished reading this book today and let me just say... WOW!! This book is amazing. It has funny moments, sad moments and moments that make you say "Don't be so stupid!" It will leave you thinking about for days afterwards. I'm definitely going to reread this book soon!
This was a few weeks ago. A local coffee shop opened up this summer near me and I took time to just go and read. It was such a good time! Now I‘ve got to catch up and finish Once and For All and Shopgirl ASAP.
pickI love love love Sarah Dessen! I finished this book in under 24 hours which is my all time fastest record. (I'm a slow reader) Anyways, I love this book. Realistic with very likeable characters. It was one of those books that I could see and imagine very vividly on my mind-like seeing it as a movie. Highly recommend!
I've never read this much in one sitting before. Absolutely loving it so far! And so does Tom. 💖
pickSuper cute quick read. I've been in a really big book slump. Hopefully this helps me get out of it!
As a bit of a balance to all the far too real and frustrating insights from my current two nonfiction reads, thought I would pick up a Sarah Dessen.
pick5/5 stars. I love books that are centered around weddings, and even more I love books that have a hate-to-love romance in them. I was so happy that i picked this book up.
pickOh my goodness! I'm about 75 percent through this audiobook, and even though I suspected what had happened, it's still a shock. Wonderfully written, this is an emotional rollercoaster of a book. I love the characters! I'm already giving this book five stars, even though I'm not finished reading it yet. A must read for any YA contemporary book enthusiast.
pickI really love the characters in this book. I was worried the MC, Louna was going to be a pain in my ass like Remy, but I‘m so glad she wasn‘t. William and Ambrose too are just amazing. I love them both so much. It‘s cheesy (you know I love my cheese) yet I‘m able to still laugh, gasp, and be brought close to tears. Great read for anyone looking for a love story.

“When you loved something, you wanted everyone else to love it in the same way.”—pg 209
I firmly stand accused of this. Any other littens guilty of over sharing the love? I can‘t be the only one.

I legitimately gasped at this. As someone who lives in America, where gun violence is everyday, and a school shooting is something so common, I was once asked why I wanted to homeschool my daughter. My answer: I don‘t want to have her die.
But to see it in a book, plain as day. I don‘t know how to describe it...chilling maybe.

One page into the first chapter and I‘m already glad I saved this book for last. One of my two BFFs is getting married and it has forced me to think about my own wedding (and the mess it was. Which is good, because our marriage is strong and that‘s what matters right?). I‘m determined to be the best MOH ever, so who knows. Maybe I‘ll pick up some tips from this book.

Of course now I am somewhat out of my #readingslump but I have to write two 10 page papers in 2 weeks. Grad school always seems to get in the way of my reading 🤷♀️
pickI enjoyed this book. It was so at times. I am so glad that Louna and Ambrose got their happy ending after the heartbreak that Louna had to experience at such a young age! Can't wait to read more books by this author!
I wonder if this is a real book or not. I‘ve never heard of something like that.
This looks cute
pickI'm a firm believer in love at first sight, I married mine. I can't imagine that young love coming to a tragic end, as Louna experienced. Perhaps that's why she's cynical about happy-ever-after endings. When Louna meets charming, happy-go-lucky serial dater Ambrose, she holds him at arm's length. But Ambrose isn't about to be discouraged, now that he's met the one girl he really wants.
pickThis book was really cute and a tad bit sad! I enjoyed it a lot!
Apparently, I'm an exclamation mark and apparently, this is unsurprising to my loved ones! 😂😂

I took the quiz and well I‘m not quite that much of an extrovert I am a good mix and I love Sarah Dessen and loved this book so I‘d say it‘s pretty accurate! Plus I use exclamation marks way more than I need to!

I‘m most definitely NOT an extrovert, but I do like to think I radiate positive energy. ☺️☀️(My actual favorite punctuation mark is the semicolon.) https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/what-punctuation-mark-are-you/
so-soI love most of Sarah Dessen books and this one didn‘t disappoint but it‘s not my favorite.
Louna is skeptical of a happily ever after especially after the tragedy that happen in her first real love experience. I was really surprised at what happened to her first love. It wasn‘t what I was expecting.
I liked that it went a little deeper than what I had originally expected. I didn‘t like the bet, it seemed pointless for the characters.

1. Once and For All - Sarah Dessen. 2. Celeste Ng. 3. Outlander - Diana Gabaldon 4. Grisha Verse (Shadow & Bone Series). 5. The Essex Serpent - Sarah Perry. 6. A Curious Beginning - Deanna Raybourn. 7. The Girls in the Garden - Lisa Jewell. #7GoodThings
Dessen knows how to write about teen love, especially set against a tragic background. This is her latest, which I read earlier this year, and I thought it was one of her better books. #kidsinlove #decdays
pickI haven't read a Sarah Dessen since I devoured a ton of them in high school, but this new one was great! It's such a feel-good book, although there is a triggering/serious side plot that had me tearing up.
Just started listening to this audiobook! Perfect for wedding season (which I think is transitioning from summer to October lately).
To no one's surprise, I absolutely love Ambrose. He's a kind of spoiled, kind of skirt-chasing pretty-boy-who-kind-of-knows-it who's actually a total frickin' marshmallow, and he's just SO CHARMING. #onceandforall #sarahdessen
I just love these characters so much. Like all Dessen creations, they're just so lovely and relatable and realistic and charming. This is the perfect read for my wind-down day today. 💖 #sarahdessen #onceandforall
After a long weekend of much socializing, I'm curled up on my bed with this beautiful book, recharging my batteries and enjoying some quiet Megan-time. (Ft. two of my longtime little loves in the background. That rabbit -Hoppity, very creative - has been my little pal since my first Easter. He's an old little guy, but he looks pretty good for his age!) #sarahdessen #onceandforall #sundaysareforsnuggling
Another good contemporary by Sarah Dessen. I did a complete review on my #BookTube page!
I loved this book. It was a very cute and relatable story.
I'm honestly loving this so far; the characters are wonderful, the setting so immaculately drawn. (Also featuring one of the new over-the-corner bookmarks I got at BookFest yesterday!) #onceandforall #sarahdessen #savethepagesbookmarks
I spent all day yesterday on my feet, came home, and promptly crashed. Today is a day for lots of quiet relaxation, and for that, I always love some Sarah Dessen. 💍👰🏻💐 #onceandforall #sarahdessen
My wi-if just went kaput. Oh well. Guess that means more reading by the light of the full moon.
